Past
- Southern Farrier, LLC has been developed out of the specific
needs for horses and their owners throughout North Florida and
South Georgia. K.C. Barteld (1930-2006)
was fueled by his captivation of equines from childhood and
determined to bring a higher level of care for their lives.
K.C.’s life story offers a glimpse into a time now gone
by, one that developed his keen understanding and successful
ability to provide a unmatched quality of care.
Present
- This high quality of hoof care (barefoot (Shod as needed))
and horsemanship with a personalized service is available throughout
North Florida and South Georgia. The services are now being
applied and directed through the second generation of farriers,
managed by Brett Barteld and others inspired and apprenticed
under K.C. The needs of each horse owner and horse is evaluated
and developed to provide an effective preventative hoof care
service that is visually evident. Therapeutic hoof care is carried
out in a very calculated way that has lead to a sound horse
needing only a regular hoof care to maintain the high quality
of hoof hundreds of other clients have now experienced for decades.
We offer a lifetime service, a farrier service that will always
be there for you and you horse. The plan is for this service
to continue for generations and decades and will be unlike anything
ever offered in those terms. This offering is larger than any
one individual and any single lifetime.
Future
– This website will be a reference site for the horse
owners we service through a Client Portal and anyone interested
in our sound hooves service and therapeutic work we have had
success with. We will be providing visitors a place to see and
understand what we have been able to accomplish for our friends
and their owners. We welcome speaking engagement opportunities
anytime, please contact us
about your needs anytime.
Sincerely,
Brett
Barteld
