Client Testimonials
From routine six-week trims to vet-referred corrective cases — documented by the barn managers, trainers, and ranchers who brought their horses back.
Marcus has been shoeing my twelve-horse rotation for three years running. He shows up on schedule, works clean, and never leaves a nail proud. The barn runs smoother because of him.

Regular Hot-Shoeing Rotation
My mare Cassiopeia was landing toe-first on her left front for six weeks before Regionals. Marcus diagnosed the imbalance in one pass of the hoof knife, fit a heartbar shoe, and she was tracking up clean inside of ten days. We made Regionals. We placed.

Corrective Heartbar Shoeing — Pre-Competition
Anvil · Field Work Documentation
We run forty head of quarter horses across rocky limestone pasture. I need shoes that stay on and feet that stay sound. Marcus does hot-fit every time and I haven't pulled a thrown shoe in two seasons.

Hot-Fit Steel Shoes — Ranch Rotation
My gelding Copperhead was referred by Dr. Elaine Marsh at Equine Health Associates after a white line resection. Marcus coordinated directly with her on a therapeutic aluminum plate setup. The foot grew out clean in ninety days. I'd have been looking at retirement without that kind of precision.

Veterinary-Referred Corrective Work
Complex cases referred by veterinarians across six counties. Each shoe fit in coordination with the attending vet — not after a phone call, but side by side, radiograph in hand.
“The shoe is the last prescription in the treatment chain. It has to be right.”
Marcus Holt, C.J.F.
“Marcus read the radiographs alongside Dr. Marsh and fit the egg-bar the same afternoon. Brigadier was comfortable in the stall within three days.”
Carolyn Bassett
Sycamore Hill Equestrian
“The foot could have gone either way. Marcus built a hospital plate that kept the resection clean and dry through six weeks of wet winter. Perfect regrowth.”
Tanner Oglesby
Limestone Creek Barn
“Chronic laminitis in a competition mare feels like a death sentence. Marcus and Dr. Kimura put together a shoeing protocol that kept her competing at Prix St. Georges for another season.”
