What People Are saying About This Site!

Many Web sites take half their space telling you how great they are. We don't have to, because our visitors do it for us. Here's a short sampling of the E-mail we constantly receive:

• The Farrier & Hoofcare Resource Center is the first place I look when I need information. - Shane Baxter

• The Farrier & Hoofcare Resource Center is, without a doubt, the center of farriery on the Web. Its informational value is vast and unsurpassed; and The Marketplace is the future for purchasing farrier supplies. Every time I get on the Internet, I start with The Resource Center. - Henry Heymering

• Although there are constants in farriery, new ground is broken daily in this profession, and The Farrier & Hoofcare Resource Center is where you can get your daily update. There's no better source for farrier education and research. - Danvers Child

• The Farrier and Hoofcare Resource Center is a continuously updated source of information, feedback, research material and much more. For me, The Farrier and Hoofcare Resource Center is a reliable and indispensable tool that I would not want to be without. And, it's free. - Ernie Gray

• You don't need to be a web wanderer to find horseshoeing and hoofcare information. Just go to The Farrier & Hoofcare Resource Center. It's the only bookmark you will ever need. - Donald P. Jones

• Even the ancient art of farriery is in such a rapid state of change now that it takes something like The Farrier & Hoofcare Resource Center to really keep up. The scientific information in the "Articles" as well as the timely tips on the bulletin boards really are tomorrow's information available today. And the laughs in the Humor section relax a sore body after a hard day.- Lyle Petersen

• Before the advent of The Farrier & Hoofcare Resource Center, there was no good way for quick and accurate communication among and between professional farriers from around the world. Now we are able to quickly assess problems and situations presented both by farriers and others in the horse industry, and have instant access to a broad range of potential solutions. - Rick Burten

• Since I found The Farrier & Hoofcare Resource Center, I make it a point to check in to the bulletin boards regularly. The input from other farriers, vets, and even horse owners helps provide me with up-to-date information on current therapies and new research developments in hoofcare. - Patty Stiller

• Whether you're experienced or inexperienced as a farrier, or just have a need to know, The Farrier & Hoofcare Resource Center is always the first place to go. - Mike Wildenstein

• The Farrier & Hoofcare Resource Center is my favorite place to find out what's going on in the horseshoeing industry! It's a great source of invaluable information horseshoers and horse owners can share with each other! - Keith Fremlin

• I find The Farrier & Hoofcare Resource Center is my one-stop solution on the World Wide Web for all farrier information, both for myself and my clients. It's educational benefits are unsurpassed. I pass its web address on to clients at my clinics, and from my booths at equine-related events. - Ray Miller

• It's remarkable how much information I've gleaned not only from colleagues but horse owners as well. Some of the questions that I've answered have caused me to do research and make myself smarter. It's the only place on the web a farrier can go and learn, without making his back hurt or hands dirty. - Fred Maphis

• The Farrier & Hoof Care Resource Center is an excellent resource for the professional and enthusiast; it's a melting pot of knowledge from across the world, and across the world of horses. - Chip Langston

• "The Farrier & Hoofcare Resource Center is entertaining and enlightening. As a professional farrier and a relative newcomer to the web, this site stands out. The discourse and responses are the next best thing to watching the horse go. - Gregory Coates

• I would really like to thank you and your colleagues very much for the excellent work you have done with The Farrier & Hoofcare Resource Center. I look forward to reading it every morning, and I believe I have learned a great deal from the thoughtful questions and answers posted in the Bulletin Boards.
  I applaud your efforts in helping the worldwide farrier community educate and communicate with each other. Thank you. - Carmine Forte

• I really enjoy your website! I have been a farrier for 11 years and am a California Polytechnic Graduate (horseshoeing). I enjoy reading the articles and helping where I can. Thank you -- thank you -- thank you for have this place for us! - Vern Christopher

• This web site is something that has been needed for a long, long time. I go to every clinic or farrier gathering I can possibly attend and I've never been able to get as much information as I want. This site has made getting information a lot easier. I have been to meetings that have been so "clickish" I was afraid to ask a question. The folks responding to the questions on the bulletin boards seem to be sincere about helping everyone.... Thanks for the site. - Tim Sigmon

• I want to say what a good thing you have here. I am about as dumb as you can get trying to work the internet. There are more horse related items all the time and the systems keep changing. You have made a one stop service for the farrier industry and I would just like to say thank you. - Dan Bradley

• I would love to make all sorts of suggestions for improving your site, but, alas! I can't find anything to improve! In the couple of days since I stumbled across horseshoes.com I've learned more and gotten the answers to more of my questions than I have in a month of wandering the internet in search of those things. Congratulations on a job well done! - J. Friedman

• This is the best Web site I have visited, both equine related, and also within my other interest areas. You guys have obviously put an enormous amount of work into this and I wanted to let you know it was appreciated. I am going to spread the word on some of the other bulletin boards for some that may have not discovered you yet. - L. Giles

• I don't have any suggestions but I have lots of praise. When I found this page I was so excited because I had problems that no book or magazine seemed to explain. But being able to talk about it with all these kind, caring, really interested people has been wonderful! I was reading one of the news groups for equines and it was really awful the way the people put each other down and I wouldn't dare to ask a question for fear I would be eaten alive instead of getting helpful suggestions. Thank you for making a place where we can get good advice from the right people who really care. - S. Heath

• I'm really enjoying your site -- learning a whole lot. It's amazing how little most of us owners know about horses' feet. We can give shots, do all sorts of "horse doctoring", train, compete, groom, condition -- but when it comes to feet, we are totally at the mercy of whatever farrier will come out when we need him/her, and we have so little knowledge we aren't able to judge the work very well unless the horse walks away from the job lame. We feel lucky when we find a farrier who keeps the shoes on and the horse sound, and tiptoe around the questions we might have....
  One of the things I've noticed on your bb's is that there is quite a bit of agreement among most of the farriers about treatment methods -- a little different twist here or there, but with respect for one another. It's good to see all this analysis of what's happening, and after drawing conclusions, acting on them and observing the results. Field research! Fascinating reading. - D. Linkous

• I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how great your site is, and it is great! - T. Davis

• ... By the way, I found your site to be absolutely wonderful. I spent a couple of hours there yesterday and discovered all sorts of useful bits of information. Keep up the good work! - J. Friedman
