More Information:
Ed feels that horseshoeing is at the heart of a horse's soundness and can determine the usefulness of the animal. Through his knowledge of anatomy and mechanical devices, he is able to cooperate with veterinarians to seek therapeutic solutions. He especially enjoys his collaboration with Dr. Keith Wagner at Equine Health Solutions. The welfare of the horse is always his primary concern. Developing friendships with his clients is also an important part of his business.

Ed enjoys spending time with family and friends. He loves to travel - especially to Colorado and Italy. He enjoys reading and riding a bike whenever time permits.
