A LITTLE ABOUT THE FARRIER

Chas Biederman CF

Since moving to Portland in 2016, I’ve provided tailored hoof care for performance horses across the metropolitan area, including hunters, jumpers, dressage horses, western show horses, and gaited horses. I work closely with trainers and owners to help each horse stay sound, comfortable, and ready to perform.

My background includes work as an animal caretaker and range rider with the Bureau of Land Management, where I cared for mustangs and rode, shod, and packed horses and mules in wilderness settings. I also packed and shod horses and mules for the National Park Service in Yosemite Valley.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology with honors from Warren Wilson College and completed the Farrier Science Program at Walla Walla Community College. As an American Farriers Association Certified Farrier (CF), I continue to refine my skills through clinics and reading research-based literature. It’s a fascinating trade, and I’m grateful for every opportunity to help horses perform at their best and support the people who care for them.
