Re: FARRIERS IN WISCONSIN
The absolute BEST farrier around the La Crosse/Sparta area is Sam Pulhamus!! (608)792-8417 He really takes his time to trim & file the horse's hooves & is super about answering questions for newbies!! He is very personable & never makes me feel dumb for asking anything. He reassures me my horse isn't going to DIE just because he has a slight coronary band injury that always results in a quarter crack...LOL! (I am as protective & cautious over my horse as I am about my kids! Ol' Mamma Hen here! ~Can ya tell I am a newbie too?!) He doesn't charge ridiculas prices & will skip the farm call charge if there is more than 1 horse. I call others @ the stable to see if theirs needs a trim when mine does...others are glad to join in & skip the extra fee too!
He rides competatively and also trains his kids in speed gaming. He ran the OK Corral in the Ontario area for a year too...so he knows horses & their needs VERY well!
He is a fireman for his regular job...so be sure to get ahold of him about a week or maybe more before you need the trim so he can get you in on his schedule.
I've tried lots of farriers in our area & he is the BEST BY FAR!!! I won't have anyone else touch my horse from now on! He's even awesome with my attitudy appy who likes to give farriers 'the business'. He's been so naughty that he's landed himself into shoeing stocks before. He stands like a perfect gentleman for Sam if I hold his lead. That speaks VOLUMES to me!!!
