“Winner: Best Shod Horse Award”

A farrier’s goal is simple—to have your horse walk away better than how it walked in.
David Edens of Edens Forge was just a boy when he took up the trade. He began farriery with the aim of improving horse soundness and movement, and many a champion later he continues to work in Weatherford, Texas, doing just that.

A good farrier improves your horse’s performance.
A great one improves its life.
"David has shod my horses for over 10 years!! He has
always kept my horses shod perfectly and ready for
competition, whether it’s corrective shoeing or the most
basic shoeing job, David is the best in the business!!!"

"When I moved to Paradise in 2003, David Edens was
recommended to me by the farrier I used then and by a
friend whose horses he worked on. That was 12 years ago;
he has been shoeing my warmblood dressage horses ever
since. David is definitely the most knowledgeable
farrier I have had the pleasure of working with. In that
time, I cannot think of one bad shoeing job. He
schedules you for the next visit when he is there, and
he works around your showing schedule. He is quiet and
patient with the horses and I have never seen him get
angry or slap a horse. He is very well respected among
his follow farriers. In short, I recommend David
whole-heartedly."
