Darren Owen, CF

Based in Albemarle county, Indian Fields Farrier Service Inc., founded in 1996, services clients in Central Virginia and throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Pioneers in the “team approach to hoofcare,” Indian Fields focuses on treating the whole horse rather than merely the symptoms of often deep-rooted problems.

Always at the cutting edge of innovation, you can find Indian Fields performing the basic trim job as well as expert therapeutic work. From building custom shoes for foundering horses to utilizing the latest in glue-on horseshoe technology, Indian Fields has a knack for turning repeated foot failures into success stories. IFFS Owner Darren Owen also enjoys strong relationships with the world’s top nutrition and hoofcare experts, including Life Data Labs and Foxden Equine, to name a few.

Indian Fields stays at the top of the field with a constant schedule of continuing education and research. This includes running classes for other farriers, who travel to learn from Darren’s experience and leadership in therapeutic cases. (Source)
