ABOUT FLATIRON FORGE

Hi, I'm Megan Mix, and I'd love to help your horses enjoy their best lives.

A lifelong horse lover, I knew early on that working with horses is my life’s calling. From a young age, I watched farriers work on horses and became fascinated with this unique trade. As an undergrad, I shadowed local farriers who allowed me to watch, learn, and even help from time to time. I was hooked! 

Upon graduation from Cornell University’s Farrier Program, I launched Flatiron Forge for all your equine hoof needs. I look forward to serving you and your horses.

Cornell University Farrier Program Graduate

I studied under master farrier Steve Kraus, CJF, at the Cornell University Farrier Program, where I focused on trimming skills and therapeutic and performance horse shoeing, and graduated in 2023.

Competitive Equestrian & Riding Instructor

I enjoyed riding on competitive IEA and IHSA teams throughout my youth and college years, and have spent many hours training and showing my own horses. For years, I ran a well-attended lesson program for beginning riders.

Caring Attention to Detail

At Flatiron Forge, we strive to continually improve your horse's hooves with high quality, precise work. We will always do our best to work with and accommodate your horses' needs, treating both you and your animals with respect and kindness.

TESTIMONIALS

What People Say

Here’s what our happy clients are saying!

"One of our horses sustained a severe coffin bone fracture which we thought would never heal... Megan worked closely with our veterinarian to create a treatment plan with therapeutic shoes and miraculously our horse is now on the road to recovery."

Anonymous Owego, NY

"Megan at Flatiron Forge provides excellent hoof care and customer service! I have a gaited Tennessee Walker Arab cross who grows a lot of hoof, and requires frequent trims to avoid tripping over long toes. Megan keeps his hooves in excellent condition, and provides information and education on hoof and horse care. Highly recommend!"

Tami Magnus Ithaca, NY

"Megan provides exceptional service. She is so patient with our young horses and we truly appreciate everything she does. From trims to specially made shoes, our horses have never been happier!"
