Seven year old Cody, our son riding 25 year old Echo. We have had Echo since he was three years old.
Our farrier is Lee Brandonburg. He is a great guy with lots of patience and care when working with the horses. He comes every eight weeks to trim hooves. We do not recommend back shoes on retired horses for safety reasons for the other horses.

Hawk Shadow Farm is committed to retired horses, we do not accept any horses except retired horses. Boarding retired horses is not just another way for us to board horses, we specialize in retired horses because we believe in the concept of making a lifetime commitment to your horse and providing owners with a facility designed for retired horses, not a facility designed for boarding riding horses with the option of boarding a retired horse.
