Honestly I don't know! :P  I'll have to ask him next time he's hear if they are related.

Jarred is his name - he came into our lives after a prior farrier kept laming Sully with hot nails, etc. We've only once had a "bad nail" in two years and it was one that pulled out that got stuck between his shoe and the hoof but as soon as I sent him a text with a pic he came out right away to fix that as Sully is a bit "princess and pea" about it all. lol

My daughter's horse had a set of abscesses from when we brought him home that took 3 months to come out - 2x thru the sole and then finally out the top too!  A year later we have just a small crack that is working it's way out as the last evidence of that ordeal (horse was 3 legging hopping about at times)

Griffin - is that Chip Langston? or maybe a son? When I lived in Aldie, VA, I was using Chip for my horse, and he was awesome. I'd had to fire my previous farrier, not for doing a bad job, but for not being reliable, which ended up being the same thing as Yankee ended up with overgrown feet and underrun heels due to that farrier not showing up for two months (Yankee's feet grew super fast back then) :(

I'm not too far from you, my farrier is based out of Madison area and I know he goes to Orange.
Langston Farrier - he has always been very willing to list & learn with me. I introduced him to composite shoes and now he's bought a few pair from me to try on other horses.

Hi
I've been trimming my 3 horses for the past 3 years but would like someone to do 2 of them for me. I plan on keeping on doing my riding horse (IR PPID) recovered founder from 2020.
Mainly 'cause the farrier I recently tried, disregarded my directions to leave their soles alone. Now 2 weeks later my boy has an abscess. In 3 years of trimming them, 1 is a TB with thin soles and my mare previously foundered, and my boy, nobody got sore or abscessed. So I want a farrier who will listen to me!!! Any recommendations?
Thanks
