About Us

Sonny Pistilli is no stranger in the equine world. Sonny has been around horses his entire life and has never lost the love that we all share with our equine friends. Sonny has bred and shown top quality Quarter Horses, some of which have been sold to like hearted folks in other countries.

Sonny learned the art of horseshoeing at an early age from the famed Seamus Brady of Ireland. With unsurpassed attention to detail and the desire to learn all he could, Sonny has become a master farrier and is certified with the AFA and the BWFA as such. Sonny is also a certified BWFA master educator. From hand making shoes to correct a variety of gait problems and lameness concerns, to shoeing the show horse, pacer, trotter, jumper, hunter, and so on, Sonny has the vast knowledge and experience that can be had after spending 40 years in the business. 

As an educator, Sonny has the system of teaching one to become a farrier down to a science. Sonny has been taking students who possess the desire to learn and transforming them into successful farriers for the last 30 years. Sonny's blacksmith and shoeing skills are so well honed that his teaching approach is second nature. He knows what his students need to learn to be successful and he knows how to present the material to his students in an understandable manner.
