Ironbriar keeps horses across Erath County shod, trimmed and sound on a real rotation — every six to eight weeks, on the day we said. Performance horses, ranch horses, backyard companions and the occasional mule: balanced work, quiet handling, and honest advice about what those feet actually need.
Homes across Stephenville have their own needs when it comes to farrier — the local climate, how homes here are built, and everyday wear all play a part. Ironbriar Farrier Service knows Stephenville and handles every farrier job the right way for this area.

Yes. Patience is part of the job — most difficult horses are just unpracticed. Genuinely dangerous ones we discuss honestly, sometimes with your vet's help.
