The Team

Colton and Kaylee met at Heartland Horseshoeing School in 2016 and began working together in 2018. Their shared values—dedication, respect for the horse, and a belief in doing things right—have been at the core of their work ever since.

Colton Larson

Colton began working with horses after moving from Texas to South Carolina in 2011. As a teenager, he got involved with Pony Club, developed a love for jumping, and soon began helping instructors fine-tune horses in training. That work led to colt starting and a deep dive into trail riding and training. Though a back injury eventually took him out of the saddle, his respect for horses never faded. Colton went on to complete a long-term apprenticeship with two of South Carolina’s most respected farriers, gaining specialized experience with event horses and performance-focused care.

Kaylee Larson

Kaylee’s foundation with horses began on her grandparents’ cattle farm in Alberta, Canada, and grew into a full-time pursuit as a teenager apprenticing under working horsemen. Her focus was on colt starting, influenced by vaquero-style and buckaroo horsemanship. After attending farrier school in Missouri, she returned to Canada to build a thriving practice, working primarily with off-track Thoroughbreds and ranch horses. While she’s stepped back from riding in recent years, her love of training and thoughtful horsemanship continues to shape her approach to farriery.

Guiding Principles

At Larson Farrier Service LLC, we believe in doing things the right way—not the rushed way. As a husband-and-wife team with over a decade of combined experience, our practice is built on dedication, continued learning, and a shared commitment to serving horses and the people who care for them.

We prefer the calm, attentive work environment that comes with serving private owners and small facilities. It gives us the space to observe, listen, and communicate—so we can do our best work, collaborate meaningfully with clients, and make a real difference for the horses in our care.

At the heart of our work is a simple philosophy: prioritize the horse’s well-being, respect the client’s trust, and deliver effective, necessary care without added complexity. We believe that honest, thoughtful farriery benefits both horse and human—and we value our clients as people, not just appointments.

Our practice has grown alongside exceptional vets, farriers, and horsemen, and it's rooted in the belief that soundness and comfort are always worth pursuing. This business is the result of years of showing up, staying curious, and doing our best by the horses in front of us. Being part of the local horse community matters to us, and we’re proud to offer consistent, reliable service grounded in integrity.
