Krista D Hess

I am a dedicated farrier, passionate horse woman, and enjoy the challenge of working with all kinds of equines.

I am a graduate from Kwantlen University’s Farrier Program, and am continuing my education through the American Farrier’s Association.

After shoeing school I set up my farrier business in Kelowna in 2013, where I apprenticed with Erin McQueen for three years. Presently I serve my own farrier clients across the central Okanagan, while running a small hobby farm on the side.
