Farrier service · Rutland & Addison counties, Vermont

Book the visit. Skip the phone tag.

Cold Brook Shoeing runs a barn route through Pittsford, Brandon, Cornwall, Middlebury and Shoreham. Tell us the barn and the number of horses, pick a day, and we will meet you in the aisle.

Trim & balance, front set, full set or a winter package — the day, the window and the price are confirmed before we pull in.

How it works

Three steps from barn to booked.

No voicemail and no week of phone tag. Here is the whole flow, start to finish, before you commit to a date.

  1. 01

    Request

    Send the barn, the town and how many horses. Tell us whether you are on a six-week or an eight-week re-shoe cycle — or ask us to set the rhythm with you.

  2. 02

    Route

    We place you on the barn route already running through your valley that week, so the trip is shared and the barn stays calm for you and for the horse.

  3. 03

    Confirm

    You get the day, the time window and the price before we pull in. Trim & balance, front set, full set or a winter package, decided up front.

Barn routes & availability

The week, by route.

Every barn on the route holds a standing day. The openings below are this week's run through the valley — the booking calendar confirms your exact window.

Multi-horse barns are scheduled together so every horse on the property is done in one stop. Availability shown is for the current week.

Six-week cycle

For horses in regular work

Shoes grow out and the hoof wall changes shape between visits. A six-week run keeps the breakover close to where it was set and keeps the shoe under the hoof, not hanging off the toe.

Eight-week cycle

For pasture and light-work horses

Plenty of horses hold a good balance for eight weeks. If yours starts to run long or throws a shoe before then, we will move you onto a tighter rhythm.

Not sure which one fits? Tell us how the horse is working and how the feet looked at the last visit, and we will set the rhythm with you.
