Five kinds of barn call
Pick the job, then the county. A category banner at the top of each page is advertising, and it is labeled Sponsored.
Farriers
Farriers trim hooves, set or pull shoes, and help keep a horse standing and working on a schedule. Most travel to the farm. A listing here does not mean the person is certified. Any certification shown later is self-reported or printed by the source named on the profile.
Equine dentists
Equine dentists float teeth and check the mouth on a routine. Who is allowed to work in a horse's mouth depends on the state, and a dentist is not a substitute for a veterinarian when a horse is in pain. Ask what they are licensed or trained to do where you live.
Mobile equine vets
Mobile and ambulatory equine veterinarians handle vaccines, lameness, emergencies, and the medical side of dental work at the barn. A listing is marked mobile only when the source says the practice comes to the farm. A vet visit and a farrier visit solve different problems. If a horse is lame, sick, or not eating, call the vet.
Hoof-care trimmers
Hoof-care trimmers focus on barefoot balances and, often, boots for work the hoof cannot do alone. Some farriers trim only. The category is how the business describes the work, not a promise that the horse should stay barefoot.
Horse haulers
Horse haulers move animals when you cannot, or should not, pull the trailer yourself. Ask how horses are separated, what insurance they carry, and how they handle a horse that will not load. This directory does not verify insurance.
