Genesis Farriers has always believed

in trimming horses to a natural, rounded hoof whenever possible. 

Dave strives toward achieving a naturally balanced hoof for every barefoot horse he trims. 

 

However, as a Clydesdale breeder

and exhibitor, Dave also understands the need for shoeing in competitive horses including the specialized,

scotch bottom shoeing

needs of drafts (right).
