Cody Dooley (Licking, Mo.)

Cody, with Bar D Farrier Services, expanded on his passion of caring for horses and completed 4 years of apprenticeship in Oklahoma and Texas. He then continued to start his own farrier business in 2008 as well as be the head cowboy on a ranch. He now owns his own very successful and well-known business, Bar D Farrier Services, in Missouri. He specializes in corrective and therapeutic work. He has helped countless horses with different types of issues get back to doing what they love most. Cody looks at each horse individually and what specific needs they need. He will hand make shoes for the horses that need more that a basic shoe, and tailors each appointment to each horse. His skill, patience, knowledge, mentorship, and friendship are immeasurable to anyone I have ever met. He is the most respectful farrier and man I’ve ever known and worked with. His commitment to his clients and their horses compares to no one else. He takes the time to explain to his clients what is going on with their horses and what they can to between appointments to help them. He takes the time to get to know new horses before he gets started with them to make sure they are comfortable with him. From listening to his other clients, Cody treats all his clients and their horses with the same care and attention as he does his own horses. He is a well-known “go to” farrier in the Central and Southern parts of Missouri. The long hours, late nights doing case study work, endless calls/text/messages from clients; he never gets annoyed or bothered. I have nothing but the utmost respect for him as a person and the work that he provides. His dedication to his clients and their horses shows that being a farrier is not just a job for him but his true passion.
