Testimonials

Elisa has been our farrier for the last four or five years. When she agreed to take over our farrier work, we had a senior gelding that had foundered. Elisa has been able to keep him active and comfortable with just regular trimming. Elisa keeps up with new procedures in the farrier industry and this has helped to keep all of our stock sound. Keep up the good work. Thanks

I have had the pleasure of knowing Elisa for a few years. We have worked together and she not only has a talent for trimming and shoeing horses but also working around them. I am very impressed with her skills as a Farrier, a blacksmith and a horse-woman. She also brings a lovely, caring and responsible personality. Elisa always continues her education, expanding her knowledge of Farriery. Any horse owner would be fortunate to have Elisa has their hoof care provider.

Elisa has always been extremely consistent with the professional service she has provided to me as a farrier for my horses. She has always taken the time it takes when dealing with the needs of each horse always treating them as individuals. Elisa has always been happy to answer questions and offer extra support wherever she can, and has gone over and above for me several times! I also love the fact that Elisa is continuously staying educated with new strategies and information in her field as well. My horses are not only my work partners but members of our family, so knowing that Elisa is their farrier puts me at total ease - I trust her completely!

Celtic Roots boards about forty horses and the owners are allowed to invite the farrier of their choice. Elisa has so impressed our clients with her knowledge and skills that she has become the farrier of choice for virtually everyone. While she is a certified farrier, she is constantly educating herself and upgrading her skills. With that wealth of knowledge she is willing to try state of the art techniques to solve any problems that develop from time to time. She has now partnered with Miles MacDonald to better serve her clients and together they make an unequaled pair that with quiet determination can handle any horse that comes their way. We have never known farriers with more knowledge of the horses hoof and still be so pleasant to work with.

My horse's lameness had been wrongly diagnosed as white line disease, he had endured a whole summer of having his hooves soaked in Epsom salts, then at Christmas an inexperienced farrier literally hacked his hooves off and instructed me to find a boot for the one foot as there was nothing more she could do. Obviously a poor choice for the horse and while on the search for a proper boot I found Elisa who came to our farm a day or two before Christmas. She correctly addressed the problem, which at that moment seemed hopeless, proceeded patiently and skilfully on a treatment plan to trim, hot shoe and cast his hooves. It was a slow process but it worked and today the lameness has disappeared and his hooves are better than ever. I cannot say enough about Elisa and her expertise and kindness when dealing with horses.
