Rick Legg (South Point, Ohio)
In the need for an experienced farrier after retiring my two American Saddlebred show horses to my farm, Rick was recommended to me. He not only addressed and corrected their many hoof problems with his superior knowledge and skills, including severely contracted heels, but he also took time to educate me on practical horsemanship and care. Rick cares for the horse and how the horse and owner relate as well.
Rick's compassion and dedication to his clients' horses is evident in his practice. He is always available to care for his horses. Once while I was on vacation, one of my horses became lame with an abscess. The caretaker notified Rick who drove an hour each day to check on my horse until I returned. I cannot express in words my gratitude for his devotion to my horse.
Rick is not only an expert in his field, he is extremely skilled. He attends several farrier conferences yearly, which enables him to expand his knowledge base, implement the latest horseshoeing techniques and use the newest tools and products. He educates me as a horse owner, and the horse ultimately receives better care! He is skilled, dedicated, and devoted to his horses and owners!

Rick came to us last year for our 15-year-old mare Quarterhorse, Blaze. She had a quarter crack in her coronary band and into the hoof, and just could not get it to heal. Rick took it upon himself to research and reach out to other farriers for information on how we might go about fixing this girl. Rick has been working on her for almost a year now and we are beginning to see some real progress. I'm truly happy that we have him trying to heal this beautiful mare.

Rick is the most reliable farrier I've ever had. He takes the time to discuss any issues we may be having. He is continuously learning and networking to provide the highest quality of service possible and find answers to difficult problems. He has made emergency visits and is always professional and personable. I've recommended him to others and they are always delighted with his work. Thanks to Rick, our horses have happy, healthy feet!
