We believe in being life-long learners. This goes for all aspects of life but rings true especially for those of us in the farrier trade. There are always opportunities to improve, grow and learn from others.

Testimonials
Some words from our happy clients
Billy and Lacy are able to apply their excellent skill at hoof care to domestic and non-
domestic species, these farriers understand anatomy and species-specific
considerations involved with optimizing hoof health, providing professional and thorough
care to one of the most important aspects of ungulate health
Lacy and Billy are world class farriers. From routine trims to fixing serious problems, I
always go into procedures with them knowing that I can trust their skill and expertise to
get the job done. Their experience working with a wide range of exotic hoofstock means
they know how to keep staff and animals safe. I can't recommend them enough!
Working with Billy and Lacy for numerous years, their knowledge and expertise of
exotic animal hoofstock hoof care is unsurpassed. With numerous years of zoo
experience, a facility can be comfortable bringing them in to work on their collection
I have had excellent experiences working with Lacy on a wide range of hoof cases. I have seen her take care of everything from a routine slender-horned gazelle trim to a Grevy’s zebra hoof disease case with expertise. Not only does Lacy do excellent farrier work on all her cases, but she takes the time to teach other animal management professionals about hoof care and management. She is clearly passionate about what she does and enjoys sharing her gifts with others which makes Lacy an incredible asset to any animal care team. I have truly enjoyed working with Lacy and have learned so much from her, I highly recommend contacting Wild Hoof for assistance on any ungulate case. I definitely look forward to continuing to work with Lacy in the future!
