Kyle Schmidt

Kyle Schmidt is a 5th generation horseman and a 2nd generation farrier. He grew up riding and competing cutting horses as well as breaking and training young horses. Kyle first started shoeing under his father Steve Schmidt at the age of 12. At 14, he began taking his first trimming clients and competing in shoeing competitions. After a brief stint with Ford Racing in Detroit, Michigan, horses called to him again and he returned his successful farriery career. Kyle currently shoes almost exclusively performance and sport horses, and his specialty is working with vets and other equine professionals to find the right solutions for a wide range of equine athletes. When he isn’t shoeing, he enjoys sky diving and spending time with his family: his wife Jordan and his children Dixie and Lawson.
