Icelandic horse’s have very specific shoeing regulations and requirements for our competitions and breeding evaluations. We manage our horse’s farrier work in accordance with those guidelines and years of knowledge developed managing the farrier work of our training horses. Terral has been shoeing Icelandic horses in Iceland and the U.S. for over 10 years now working with some of the best trainers and farriers in the business. Carrie went through specific farrier training as apart of her education at Holar University. As needed we also partner with local farriers. Together the team works to tailor and adjust each horse’s shoeing to their health and training needs.
