Professional Hoof Care • Performance Horse Specialist • Soundness Begins From the Ground Up

About Jason

Jason Simmons has dedicated his life to the horse industry. Since the age of nine, he has competed in the cutting horse industry, qualifying for and competing in major events throughout his youth. His competitive career eventually led him to become the Colorado High School Cutting Champion, helping establish a strong foundation in horsemanship, competition, and performance horse development.

Jason’s lifelong involvement with performance horses gives him a unique understanding of what it takes to build, maintain, and manage a sound equine athlete.

Jason furthered his education by attending ELPO Farrier School, where he developed a deeper understanding of equine anatomy, biomechanics, hoof balance, and movement. He has also worked under and learned from two of the industry’s top farriers, continuing to refine his skills and expand his knowledge.

Today, Jason serves clients throughout Colorado, Kansas, and Texas and has built a reputation for professionalism, dependability, quality workmanship, and a true commitment to each horse.

Jason’s Philosophy

Jason believes every horse should be treated as an individual.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to hoof care. Every horse has unique needs based on conformation, age, workload, discipline, environment, physical limitations, previous injuries, and long-term goals.

By understanding the horse as a complete athlete, Jason develops hoof care plans designed to support movement, improve balance, promote soundness, and help each horse perform at its best.

Understanding the Performance Horse

Jason’s background as a competitor, trainer, and farrier provides a unique perspective.

With years of experience training and competing on performance horses, Jason understands how proper hoof balance directly impacts a horse’s movement, comfort, and overall performance.

He understands how to build and develop an athlete, but he also recognizes when a horse is experiencing physical limitations or underlying issues. His experience allows him to identify concerns early, make necessary adjustments, and help manage conditions in a way that prioritizes the horse’s long-term health and success.

Every decision matters, from hoof balance and conditioning to training and competition.

Jason’s goal is to help create horses that are sound, confident, and able to perform at their highest level.

Jason’s Commitment to Continuous Improvement

Jason is a firm believer that learning never stops.

He is constantly seeking opportunities to improve his skills, expand his knowledge, and stay current with new techniques and advancements within the equine industry. His commitment to continuous improvement benefits both the horses he develops and the clients he serves.

By combining practical experience, a strong understanding of equine biomechanics, and a lifelong dedication to the industry, Jason offers a comprehensive approach focused not only on performance, but also on the overall well-being and longevity of every horse in his care.

TESTIMONIAL

I have used this young man on several occasions and really like what he does. First of all he is always on time and treats all the horses with care. He has worked on our show horses, our broodmares, our stallion and also on both of our miniatures. Trimming miniatures is a real task and Jason is always up for it and takes his time and does a great job. I would highly recommend him for any and all farrier needs.
