ABOUT US
Myself Sam, my wife Dani and our three homeschooled kids are based in Maungaturoto. As a family we are passionate about farming, the outdoors, fishing, working hard and working together.
​
I've come from large farms in South Canterbury where there are more on farm facilities to carry out hoof maintenance, and moved here to Northland where farms are generally smaller and the facilities aren't as readily available. From this I saw the need to share my knowledge and skills, with over 15 years in the industry and having taken pride in healthy hooves. I understand the need for service providers to be reliable yet flexible and am always up for a yarn. I have experience in conventional as well as organic farming preferring a more holistic, preventative approach.
