Hear what our clients have to say about David Qualls and Shoe-Less Farrier Services:

We met Mr. David Qualls, of “Shoe - Less Farrier Services” on or about September 2007, through a friend. This meeting was after my Horse “Breezie” (then a 1250 pound 13 year old Red Roan Quarter Horse mare) was diagnosed by our veterinarian as having laminitis/founder in both front hooves, and recommended that this beautiful animal be “put down”.

Mr. Qualls arrived to where Breezie was boarded, from his home in Georgia, at approximately 8 pm on a very cold night. He went to Breezie’s side and comforted her with a light caring touch and a soft voice, Breezie accepted this stranger as a friend immediately; which is not at all in her manner.

David examined her, who at this time could hardly stand on her own, and then he told us this horse could be saved. However; in doing so, we would have to follow his protocols to the letter.

We accepted of course and in doing so he stated that if if we had any problems or questions during this period to call him immediately anytime and he would come to Breezie’s location.

After many months, long hours, hard work, and tears, this beautiful horse is back on her feet, back to her normal weight, rideable, and most of all back to her beautiful self.

David made numerous visits to examine and to do what was necessary in follow up corrective trimmings and also relieving her of noticeable discomfort. David took as much time as needed with his easy going style making her feel confident, safe and comfortable prior to any procedure. But be assured that David also practices “constructive discipline” when and only when needed.

David healed this very beautiful horse and we thank him for his knowledge, his caring attitude and gentle manor.

His motto “It’s all about the Horse” says it all; and is truly an understatement on his part.

This motto is now posted in our barn and strictly adhered to.

We take this time to say: Thank you, Mr Qualls, for a job well done and especially for saving my horse's life. If there is any doubt in anyone's mind that has an equine in trouble and I can talk from experience, please put your faith and trust into this man's ability, vast knowledge of hoof care, this disease, and his extreme dedication to his profession

We strongly recommend Mr. Qualls and his associates if and when they are needed “for the Horse”

Greetings David, 11/18/08

Bill and I want to thank you for your dedication and efforts with the recovery of our gal, Misty.  We also welcome you to post this letter on your web site and welcome you to use us as contact referrals.

We know without a doubt, had we not had the good fortune to meet you at your Whole Horse Wellness Clinic last year in Bon Air, Va. Misty would no longer be with us. Without your guidance and logical approach to treating foundered horses, we would have been left with our previous farrier and veterinarian's suggestion to put her down. That thought to this day causes me to get teary eyed. David, you asked us at your last visit what it is you could do that would better your communication between you and future clients. Our answer is: do what it is you are currently doing, we find no fault with your professionalism, we also found your dedication to us and our horse unusual in those in the farrier business. 

Now for the web site "Energy from Clients".  If you are looking for a farrier that is 100% dedicated to the wellness of your horse, his name is David Qualls. My husband (Bill) and I suffered through the foundered horse trauma and heartbreak last year [2007]. Our Spanish Arab Gleaming Mist was diagnosed with 4 foundered feed last spring, our vet and farrier talked it over between themselves (Bill and I were left out of this discussion).  (Read the rest.)

David has been working on my grandchildren's pony (Bullseye) for several months now and the results have been little short of a miracle. When David came on the scene the pony had been foundered and the farrier had put shoes on him, after which he got abscesses in all four feet. It took several weeks to get the farrier back out and when he did come, he said we should just put the pony down. For us that was not an option and needless to say he will not be back. A friend told me about David and he came from the Atlanta area to Dickson, TN and after checking Bullseye all over he said it would take awhile, but with his dedication and mine he thought he could bring him back to 100%. Within a couple of weeks, the difference was day and night and he has continued to improve ever since. We can't thank David enough.
