East Coast Hoof and Wellness Center

John and his team have been nothing but professional, honest and polite the entire time I’ve been working with them. They came recommended to me by a friend and I honestly couldn’t imagine finding a better team for my horse. John is responsive, always returns phone calls and messages, timely and will work with you in a pinch to ensure your horse is taken care of. His team is made up of some of the best professionals I have ever met. He ensures everyone is trained properly and their work is quality checked. The veterinarians on his staff are top notch and come highly recommended. I was having issues with my horse having right front lameness. We couldn’t figure out what was going on. He not only came out a week earlier than we originally scheduled but he brought his entire team. They did radiographs, light sedation, a nerve block and his vet was able to very quickly pin point the issue. They aren’t about making you spend unnecessary money on expensive tests or procedures. They do what’s necessary, give their honest opinion and advice and they don’t jerk you around or try and full you to make a buck. They are truly good people with a very honest business. Not only that they are extremely good at what they do, very knowledgeable and their work is amazing. Turns out my guy had uneven hoofs and with all the new ground work and training he was doing he was very sore. So he got a new pair of fancy sneakers to balance him out and no kidding two days later he was good as new. Thank the Lord I had John and his team come and not someone else because who knows what someone else would have put my poor guy through to get to the same conclusion. I also don’t think the shoes would have been anywhere near the quality of work John’s is. I’ve seen the work of farriers in this area and they are not on John’s level. I can’t recommend him enough. He’s worth every penny and more!

My mom (Tracy) recently bought a horse, she scheduled an appointment with East Coast Hoof and Wellness to come out and do his farrier appointment - they were very professional, gentle and did an excellent job. 2 weeks later the horse had a chip on his hoof - she contacted John and informed him and within 15 minutes he sent out his farrier Evan to fix the chip. We highly recommend them as your farrier for any horse needs! 10/10 stars!

Being relatively new to owning a horse can be extremely overwhelming and honestly scary. Going through various farriers to assess my Thoroughbred’s hurting feet was a challenge. I felt like a failing horse mom until I was introduced to East Coast Hoof & Wellness Center. John and his incredibly intelligent and caring team transformed my horse’s quality of life and taught me in the process. Answering my endless stream of questions not only benefitted my knowledge in caring for my horse, but it also demonstrated the passion John and his team have in helping our horses. The East Coast Hoof & Wellness Center quiet the overwhelming feelings and promote an inspiring and welcoming sense of community for me and my horse.

John and his team are very knowledgeable and he really brought my horse back from a bad laminitis issue. They are very receptive, my horse lost a shoe this morning, he was here in an hour. I've paid less for shoes in the past but in the long run, have saved a ton on vet bills since my horse has been sound since we started working together. He is gaited and his gait has never been better! Highly recommend!

We had the best experience with East Coast Hoof and Wellness Center. John and his team are amazing. We were a new client switching from another farrier due to issues. Our one horse was very lame when we called John. He was quick to respond and great at communicating both texting and calling. He worked with us to fit us in to get our mare feeling better and set up a plan to fix her problem feet. He explained everything so we have a better understanding ourselves. Our gelding was done too but was not lame so more of a basic shoeing. Their feet now look great and our mare is already showing improvement. I highly recommend him and his team! 10/10
