John SachaczenSki, Farrier Craftsman

John acquired his formal education in farrier science from Cornell University Farrier Program under direct instruction from world renowned farrier Steve Kraus, CJF. At Cornell John gained extensive experience practicing hoof rebuilds and epoxies. The program included 25 hours of anatomy of the equine foot and limb, 30 hours of therapeutic shoeing, 385 hours of forge work, 200+ hours of trimming feet, fitting and nailing shoes. After the program was over John volunteered at Cornell’s animal hospital an additional two weeks to gain even more experience with shoeing problematic and foundered horses. 

John is a member of the American Farriers Association and has since shod for many different breeds and disciplines working with equine veterinarians and trainers. In addition, he attended Heartland Horseshoeing School in Lamar, Missouri training with Chris and Cody Gregory in 2014. At Heartland John honed his abilities on the forge and in the process discovered the dedication required for such a high level of craftsmanship. John now takes pride in each shoe he makes. Furthermore, John has worked with several well-known reputable farriers in the Bucks County area since his return from school. 

John has been wonderful every time he comes out to put shoes on my pony. He is very patient with the horses & ponies and great at explaining what’s going on & what the shoe does to help. He diagnosed my pony when she was had a medical problem. If it weren’t for him, I don’t know what would have happened.
