About Crazy V Horsemanship & Farrier

Crazy V Horsemanship and Farrier is based in Sallisaw, Oklahoma, a town in Sequoyah County near the Arkansas border with a strong rural and agricultural identity. The combination of horsemanship training and farrier services under one name is practical and relatively uncommon, since most providers specialize in one or the other. That dual focus suggests a deep, well-rounded understanding of horses and their physical needs. Sallisaw sits along Interstate 40 and draws horse owners from across the Arkansas River Valley region, including riders from Fort Smith and the surrounding area.

Services & Process

The horsemanship side of Crazy V covers rider development and horse training, helping owners build a better working relationship with their animals through proper groundwork, handling, and riding technique. Farrier services focus on hoof care, which includes trimming overgrown hooves, shaping and fitting horseshoes, and identifying hoof problems before they become serious soundness issues. Horses need consistent farrier attention every six to eight weeks, so having a knowledgeable local provider in Sallisaw matters for horse owners throughout Sequoyah County. Together, these two services address both the behavioral and physical wellbeing of the horse.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does my horse need farrier services?
Most horses need their hooves trimmed or reshod every six to eight weeks, though this varies based on hoof growth rate, the horse's workload, and whether they're kept on pasture or in a stall. Letting hooves go too long between appointments can lead to cracking, uneven wear, and lameness issues.
Does my horse need horseshoes, or is barefoot better?
It depends on the horse's hoof quality, the terrain they work on, and how hard they're ridden. Many horses do perfectly well barefoot with regular trimming, while others need shoes for protection or to correct a hoof imbalance. A good farrier can assess your specific horse and give you an honest recommendation.
What is horsemanship training, and how is it different from riding lessons?
Horsemanship training focuses on the relationship between horse and handler, including groundwork, reading the horse's body language, and building trust before you even get in the saddle. Riding lessons typically start once that foundation is in place, so the two approaches work together rather than separately.
Can Crazy V help with a horse that has behavioral problems?
Problem behavior in horses often has a root cause, whether it's pain, past trauma, or gaps in early training. A horsemanship-focused provider works to identify and address those causes rather than just suppressing the symptoms with force or equipment. It takes time, but it produces lasting results.
Does the farrier come to my property, or do I need to trailer my horse?
Mobile farriers travel to your location, which is convenient for horse owners who don't have easy trailering options. It also means your horse is worked on in a familiar environment, which tends to go more smoothly, especially for younger or nervous horses.
Is Sallisaw a good area for horse owners?
Yes. Sequoyah County has ample rural land, relatively affordable property, and a strong local culture around horses and livestock. The proximity to the Arkansas border also means horse owners here have access to providers and events in both states.
