Trim, shoeing and abscess work for barns and trainers across central Kentucky. We know these back roads. We know your horses. Call and we’ll be there.
Back roads between five counties
The forge sits at the middleThe forge is in Lexington, and the route runs out from there in every direction. If your barn sits on the map, we already know the drive.
Outside the five? We also run a 40-mile radius of Lexington — call and we’ll tell you straight.
Lexington and the horse farms that ring it. The forge sits at the middle of the map.
North-east out the Paris pike, past the long limestone fences.
Up through Georgetown and the fields that open out beyond it.
West to Versailles, where the fence lines run long and straight.
South to Nicholasville and the barns tucked off the county roads.
Not sure if we roll to you? Ask.
Everything happens in your aisle or under your shed row — the truck carries the forge, the anvil, the rasps and a rack of shoes.
All four hooves trimmed, squared and balanced so the horse stands level and moves straight.
Front pair shod and set, with the nail pattern fitted to the hoof wall and the work the horse does.
All four pulled, trimmed and reset with fresh nails — the regular cycle for horses in work.
We find it, open it, drain it and wrap it so your horse can stand comfortably again.
Composite and glue-on options for drafts, hunters and jumpers, built around the job the horse does.
Sample prices for standard work. Every horse is different — call for a quote.
Two horses or twenty — same number.
Four steps from the first ring to a horse standing square in the aisle.
Ring the number or send a photo of the hoof. A clear shot from the side tells us what we’re walking into.
Give us the barn, the county and how many horses. We’ll slot you into the run for that part of the map.
We come to you with the forge, the tools and the shoes. No hauling, no loading, no stress on the horse.
We work in the aisle or under the shed row, clean up after ourselves and leave the barn the way we found it.

Ironwood Forge is a working farrier rig out of Lexington. The truck carries the forge, the anvil, the rasps and a rack of shoes in the sizes we run into — so the work happens in your aisle, not in a shop across town.
Barn owners and trainers keep us on the route because horses get seen on schedule and the aisle gets left the way it was found. Five counties, forty miles of back road, one number to call.
