require therapeutic and corrective care. This can include treatment to address concussion to the equine bones and joints causing

Brian Fitzpatrick's extensive experience
spans over 14 years of shoeing horses for a variety of different types of organizations and municipalities. Having shod
horses for numerous non-profit organizations
including but not limited to handicap riding facilities such as Heads Up located in Saugus, CA, The Painted Turtle located
in Lake Hughes, CA, and The Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue located in Lancaster, CA. Brian's work included keeping elderly
and lame horses’ serviceable sound for use in various programs. Brian also shoes for top level endurance and competitive
trail barns where there are strict requirements for traction and balance with horses that are traveling for long periods of
time in adverse weather conditions, and on harsh terrain. In Brian Fitzpatrick's work with municipalities such as the County of Los Angeles Animal
Care and Control, he works directly with the county’s principal veterinarian accessing horses future usefulness,
and performing corrective shoeing and trimming procedures to correct in most cases years of neglect and abuse. Brian's
ultimate goal with the animals treated at the Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control facilities is to create a horse sound
enough and useful enough to be adopted and given a second chance at life. 
Brian Fitzpatrick also services
several top level barrel racing horses, reining horses, and western pleasure horses. They are all competitive performance horses which require shoeing procedures
and techniques that are very specific to the horses’ needs and requirements for movement, gait, and conformation. Variables
such as ground surfaces/footing, the job required of the horse, and differences in each individual horse’s movement
and conformation must be considered. Brian currently mentors under and consistently consults with some of the top professional
farriers in the nation including Esco Buff, PhD, CF, Jason Harmeson, CJF, Bob Phalen, CF, Jaime Osbrink, CF, and Danny Brown,
CJF.
