Nathanial Bruss (Bradford, N.H.)

One of my horses, Shiloh, tore his front hoof on a trailer ramp. I took him to the equine center in Dover, N.H. His hoof had to be put back together up to the coronary band. Then he had months of stall rest and a special shoe changed every week. That is how I met my now farrier, Nathanial. He handmade the special shoe and tended to him for months. Today, Shiloh is 10 years old (the accident happened when he was 4). He is fine today with no damage to the hoof. Thank God with the stall rest for 4 months he didn't founder. I thank Nathanial to this day. He has been my farrier since then for my five horses.
