Jim Apple and I share a common hobby (living history) so I've spent many hours with Jim driving to and from events. I've been a community college biology professor for over 30 years now. I've learned more PRACTICAL nutrition, anatomy and physiology from Jim during casual conversation than I ever learned in a college class. I use his knowledge every time I cover Equidae in class lectures.

Everyone told us that our old farrier was hands down the best in the area and we never questioned their knowledge. He said that 6 to 8 weeks between trims was perfect for horses, boy was he wrong!
we used to have cracks and flares, but no more. No more chipping and sore feet after trims. Plus Jim trims her with without a halter or lead rope!
If you think you farrier or trimmer is really good, I promise you Jim Apple is better!
Valerie said....
Jim was our farrier here at Avalon Farms in Tennessee for many years. He did a great job and we were sorry to see him go. You are lucky if he's in your area.
Laurel said....
I totally trust your judgment and you have became a good friend. You can get along with any horse and make beautiful hooves.
Julia said....
Happy for you that you went south to Florida, but wish you had come to Texas!
Charlie said.....
Jim Apple rocks! My horse Prophet loved him. Jim was so good to him and did such a wonderful job. Always dependable and caring for the horse.
Jackie said....
I wish he never moved! I trim my own now since no one stacks up to the expertise and knowledge that Jim has and shared with me over the years
Mary Ann said....
Yes he is a fine trimmer for sure! I miss my buddy.. my TRIM BRO
Michelle said....
Jim Apple's hoof and horse physiology knowledge is superior. He not only provides hoof trims, he also offers education. Listen to him!
His main concern is in the horse's best interest. Diet, environment, hoof maintenance and veterinary care.
Jim was always reliable and my horses loved him. Any equine would be lucky to have Jim be his/her, hoof trimmer!
Becky said....
I'm so very sad that you didn't come a little further south :( Been missing your expertise since I left Tennessee!!! Best hoof trimmer ever!!!
Amy said...
Jim Apple is the best ever hands down if you don't use him you're crazy. So mad at Fl. for stealing my farrier. If you want someone who researches and reads and is passionate about the physiology of not just the foot but the horse as a whole Jim is your man!!!
Kelly said....
Jim kept my herd's feet healthy for about 12 years. Sad to see him move on to Florida, but just know he's the best farrier I have ever used.
