Reviews from my dear clients

"Denys is without a doubt the best farrier I've ever had, knowledgeable, educates you and really cares about your horses. We've seen much improvement in our horses movement and he is the only person who actually addressed our horses issues with flared hooves.

Denys came highly recommended and I am so glad we decided to use him. I have two rescued draft horses who are both difficult to handle. I had a difficult time finding a farrier that would commit to trimming drafts, let alone ones that don’t stand well. In addition, one of them battles thrush and a cracked hoof, while the other was extremely overgrown. Denys has great problem solving capabilities, while my one 18.2 hh draft refused to pick up his very heavy back legs, Denys remained patient and calm while modifying his plans to trim his feet with precision. He is a young guy who is building his network the right way. Don’t be fooled by his baby face, he has better horsemanship than any of the older cowboy farriers I have used in the past, in addition to a plethora of up to date knowledge.

I always went the traditional route with my horses and their feet. Never had any real issues that way but often wondered about why there were cracks in their hooves with no real explanation as to why. I found myself needing a new farrier and decided I'd seek a different route. Denys came from a recommendation. I was surprised at the knowledge he had for the overall horse. It is clear he is passionate about his work. My horses love him. He's patient and kind and very in tune with them. He works hard for it to be a positive experience. He communicates well with me and always shows up.

I’m so glad that I found Denys! My donkey’s hooves were in such bad shape from lack of trims ( no fault of my own difficulty finding farrier ) and nutrition. Denys has worked magic on my babies, their hooves are looking so much better. Denys is so informative and knowledgeable about donkey hooves and nutrition. I wouldn’t use anybody else for my donkeys!

Denys is the best farrier we've had. He's very compassionate and caring with the horses. He is the most knowledgeable farrier we've ever had. Our horses love Denys! And so do we. We highly recommend him if you are looking for a farrier. Denys is your man!

Denys did a great job with one of my rescue minis, he is always on time, very professional. He also is very patient with all my horses, we will continue to use him. I highly recommend😊.

When I first contacted Denys Antonenko for his farrier services, I hadn’t had much luck with local farriers for a bit of time and our pony was super overdue for a trim.

I spoke to Denys and he was out in less than a week and has been out monthly like clockwork to help us correct an issue.

Initially I had been expecting someone older, but Denys quickly proved his age wouldn’t be an issue. He was clearly comfortable around horses and confident in what he was doing. He has emailed me article links of things we discuss, such as nutrition, and also provides me with photos of progress with our pony’s hooves.

But the thing I think I appreciate the most is that when Denys first started coming out our pony was really not very easy to trim, wouldn’t stand very well at all. Never once did Denys complain, we’d just get our bearings, move on and he would stay as long as it took. And continued coming out for trims monthly regardless of this behavior (which has since improved greatly)!

We have also already seen an improvement in our pony’s hooves since Denys has been coming out, we are grateful for his consistence and would definitely recommend him as a farrier!
