3 weeks after being shod. The vet was surprised that the horse was not lame and also the shoe is too small.

I apologize for the long post. I don't usually post reviews, but I feel the need to share my experience and you, dear reader, can come to your own conclusions. Brody shod my horse 3 times. On 3/2/2023 the first time Brody shoes my horse. Sometimes he would explain what he was doing, answered my questions, and would watch for my horse's reactions to his actions. It took about 2 hours. On 3/10/2023 my vet came to vaccinate, worm, etc. Before leaving she said, Tell your farrier that the shoes he used are too small. When I called Brody with this information, he said, Well, your vet is wrong. I know my work. On 04/18/2023, This is the second time Brody shoes my horse. He said he would use a larger size shoe to appease my vet. The shoes looked much better this time. I was impressed with my horse's patience and good behavior during this 3 hour farrier visit. On 06/15/2023 This is the third and final time Brody shoes my horse. I was not home, but my son was. When I arrived home Brody said that it goes must faster when I'm not there and my horse acts better. He said there was one issue but they worked thru it. I'm not sure what these statements mean, he would never explain them and now denies them. I have a broken wrist and have been unable to even halter my horse until last week when I saw that the front left shoe was not completely under the hoof wall on one side, but was unable to lift the foot. Another vet from the same practice came to see my horse and I asked her to look at the hoof for me. The first thing she said was, I'm surprised he's not lame!! And also the shoes are too small. It had been only 3 weeks since he was shod. I was shocked and angry how Brody had shod my horse in a way that would make him lame plus again used shoes that were too small. I also noticed cracks in the hooves and big chunks missing in the walls, which Brody never mentioned to me. I called Brody to say I no longer needed his services because the last shoeing was awful. I explained what the vet said. He said he didn't understand where this was going and he knows his work. I said I no longer want you to shoe my horse. He replied I don't want to shoe your horse. God bless and good bye then hung up. No apology, no compensation, no offer to fix it. Very unprofessional. I attached a photo of Brody's work. You be the judge.

Brody was able to come out to the ranch where we board, and was very patient with our 11 year old moody mare.

Ramon Gonzalez - Equine and Farrier Services - The amazing hoof transformation from a horse that hadn't been touched in years

Ramon Gonzalez - Equine and Farrier Services

I was recommended to Ramon by a friend, and I'm so glad I listened. When he first came out to shoe…read moremy mare, she was so anxious from past bad farrier experiences that she needed to be sedated. I'd only had her a few months, and I was nervous about how it would go. Ramon handled her with such patience and gentleness that after that first visit, she never needed sedation again. She trusted him, and so did I. Since then, Ramon has continued to exceed my expectations. He truly understands horses, not just how to trim and shoe them. He's incredibly calm, patient, and kind, which makes a world of difference for horses that need that extra reassurance. Recently, he worked on a rescue horse we took in who hadn't had proper hoof care in years. His feet were long, overgrown, and he had zero handling experience. Ramon took his time, never rushed, and somehow turned it into a non-traumatic experience for the horse. By the time he was done, the horse's feet looked amazing--a total transformation. I've recommended Ramon to everyone I know who's looking for a farrier. I saw another review mentioning communication issues, but that has not been my experience. Ramon has always done his best to keep us informed and shows up when he says he will. I also don't believe it's fair to give a business one star without ever experiencing their work firsthand. Once Ramon works on your horses, you'll never want another farrier. His prices are fair and very competitive--especially compared to others in the area. Expensive doesn't always mean better, and Ramon proves that time and time again. He's not just trimming and throwing shoes on--he understands hoof angles and proper biomechanics, which is so important for long-term soundness. More than that, he's a great man with a great soul--and your horses will recognize that from the moment they meet him. Highly, highly recommend.

Ramon has been providing farrier services for my horses for the past 5 years. Ramon is very…read moreknowledgeable and very patient. He has always shown up when he says he will and if for whatever reason he needed to push back my appointment he's always kept open communication with me to inform me of any changes. His prices have stayed consistent and he is always happy to help. Ramon has a really positive attitude and a great personality. He also has someone that helps him and they're both great! I have never had any complaints and I've recommended him to others. He's done a fantastic job and my horses all seem to be very comfortable around him. Thanks Ramon for all your help and for continuing to make the drive out to keep my guys feet looking good!
