Good questions.
Straightforward answers.
Choosing a farrier is personal. Here are a few things horse owners often want to know.
What areas do you serve?
Tylor James Farrier Service is based in Canton, Georgia, and serves Cherokee, North Fulton, Forsyth, Pickens, and North Hall counties. Share your barn’s location when you get in touch to confirm coverage and availability.
What does CJF mean?
CJF stands for Certified Journeyman Farrier, a credential awarded by the American Farrier’s Association. Tylor completed his CJF certification in January 2025.
Does every horse need shoes?
No. Barefoot trimming may be appropriate for some horses. Tylor considers your horse’s hoof condition, workload, footing, and individual needs when discussing barefoot care or shoeing.
How often should my horse see a farrier?
Many horses follow a six- to eight-week hoof-care schedule, but some need more frequent visits. Tylor can recommend an interval based on hoof growth, shoe wear, workload, and your horse’s condition.
Can you work with my veterinarian?
Yes. Tylor works with local veterinarians and other equine care providers when a horse’s needs call for a coordinated approach, including specialty and therapeutic shoeing.
How do I request an appointment?
Call 706-669-8976 or send a service request with your contact details, barn location, and the care you are looking for. Tylor will follow up about availability. A request does not reserve an appointment.
