    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!

    I have owned horses for 40 years, and Chris had been trimming my horses' feet for about 10 years…read more Under his care, my horses have not had any lameness issues (except for a couple of rounds of founder in one horse, but that was my own fault for keeping him on grass too long in the spring, and Chris helped a lot in his recovery). In any case, Chris does a careful, symmetrical; and hygienic trimming of the hoof, frog and sole which has kept my horses sound and true. One might wonder if the health of my horses' feet is due to nature or nurture? Well, when Chris was laid-up (from a non-horse-related injury) for a number of months, and I used a couple of different farriers in the interim, two of my horses suffered very bad abscesses that took months and thousands of dollars to resolve. This example is clearly anecdotal, and I will never know is these abscesses were coincidental, but I do know that my horses feet look and perform better when they are under Chris' care. I really appreciate the fact that he seems to sincerely care about the science of hoof health, and continues to do stay educated about it. An added bonus is that Chris is punctual, tidy, and quick to respond to messages. And on a trivial note, he keeps his shirt-tails tucked in, so no plumber's crack =)

    Chris started shoeing a few years ago on my fox trotters. Both horse had shoeing issues, one had…read moreboth front feet concave. He took on the challenge and over time repaired the damage the previous farrier had done to both horses. Now we are fine tuning how the horses move and he's awesome. Both horses feet are now solid and shoes are well balanced allowing both horses to gait properly.

    No show on very first appointment with no notice…read more I recently moved a couple of horses to Livermore from the north bay to board and needed a new farrier. I found Mr. Basso on yelp, called and made an appointment for 6 days out. I told him that I would be driving out from SF to Livermore to meet him and followed up our call with a text that included the date, time and address, which he acknowledged. Today was the day of the appointment. I sent him a confirmation text in the morning before my hour long drive. He never showed up to the appointment. He never canceled or tried to contact me to explain. While I was waiting, I texted and called but got no response. Thanks for wasting my time, gas and toll, Mr. Basso.

    Ed is a great farrier. I've been a loyal customer of his for a few years now. First off, when I…read moremoved my horse to the Bay Area, I didn't know any horse people and when I had to find a farrier when she was due, Ed called me back on the SAME DAY (this is rare...) and actually went out to meet me and get my mare's feet done on that same day (this is even more rare). I must have called 8 different farriers that day because she had an issue I needed handled urgently, and Ed was the only one who seemed to realize that I needed someone fast. Otherwise, he now regularly comes out and does a great job. He's always been really helpful and friendly and is honest with what is best for my horse. I.e., when the weather gets nicer he suggests she can go barefoot which loses him some $$$ since 4 shoes is much more expensive than a trim, but he knows it's good for the horse. Pretty nice. And any time I call him to schedule he either gets back to me right away or he simply shows up and takes care of my horse and bills me. Great guy, would definitely recommend him!
