Daisy's ability to get people to push their boundaries and develop an even deeper understanding of the biomechanics of the foot and how it affects the horse has, even after 40 years as a farrier, continued to improve my knowledge and skills.

I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found Daisy through Facebook and attend my first clinic in 2012. The first clinic was a massive eye-opener and subsequent clinics quickly rocketed my learning path from being an interested horse owner to becoming a dedicated and passionate full-time farrier by 2013.

I have hosted several clinics for Daisy, in California. I found Daisy to be an incredible teacher with enthusiasm and dedication for each student. Her energy is boundless and her passion and knowledge of her subject is evidenced as she moves around ensuing that each and every student understands the concepts and the application of her techniques. Daisy is an outstanding and effective educator.
