Love, passion and expertise make Freddie a unique talent. His goal is not to just trim and shoe each horse he works on the same trechniques. Just like humans each horse is unique and reqiures a more holistic and detailed view to ensure proper horse comfort and balance. This knowledge and understanding has been nurtured over years and thousands of horses.
