Richard Armentrout (Canton, Ohio)
Richard came out and was just fantastic with my spooky Thoroughbred, whom we suspect may have ringbone and is toed out on his right front. He was professional, thorough and even taught me and my family about PEMF therapy and the benefits it holds. His work is great!

Richard Armentrout is the finest farrier I have ever had. His patience dealing with troublesome horses is amazing. He always communicates his rival and is usually pretty close to time or you're going to get a text saying why he's not. Richard continues his education every chance he gets by attending seminars and working with a farrier who travels all over the United States and sometimes to Europe when he is in demand.
The quality of Richard’s work is top-notch. He works with not just the legs and feet of the horse, but checks the back shoulders and even the head. He watches as they move to make sure he sees all the needs of course. He also sometimes requires a veterinarian there with the horse and takes radiographs to make sure exactly how to fix a certain problem. Richard is not just a farrier. He loves the animals and wants to do his very best to relieve pain, suffering, and imbalance. Some of the horses he has treated were going to be put down and have now returned to the show arena. Some are just animals that people love and they want them to be comfortable. Richard has been able to provide that.
Richard also has a winning personality and educates his clients about what he's doing and why. He will always talk to them about what's going on and why he's doing it. He works with many materials to provide a support for the foot and an equip pulse to help relieve swelling and pain. It is difficult not to keep praising Richard for all that he does. Most of his clients are so grateful, including the horses that now are free to run without pain. They can perform to their best ability without interference from an old injury or having an imbalance.
