Ollie Mackee Farriery

At Ollie Mackee Farriery I am committed to provide the best and most dedicted service to my clients, be it equine or their human carers.

I am based in the Cotswolds within the heart of this vibrant and passionate racing and eventing equine community, My area covers Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Wiltshire, Warwickshire and Oxfordshire but I am always prepared to travel further afield dependent on the number of horses. I am proud of the level of service that I provide to all my clients, professional and amateur alike.

I am available on weekends as well as during the week for clients who work but would prefer to be present when I visit to discuss any problems, concerns or issues.

I am a vocational farrier who having spent a lifetime growing up with and working with horses on a daily basis understands the heart and soul required to communicate empathatically with the horses whose feet that I am entrusted to care for and to maintain effective and transparent dialogue with their owners in order to maintain both mutual trust, professional integrity and the finely honed skill set necessary to maintain optimum foot health whatever the challenges.

I firmly believe that the long term soundness and usefulness of your horse largely deepends on the quality of the hoof care it receives over it's lifetime. Every horse benefits from being on a regular trimming or shoeing schedule depending on its individual needs. Waiting until a shoe eventually falls off or a hoof chips off before seeking help is false economy as is increasing periods between trims or shoes as this can be catastrophic for your any horses foot and often results in expensive repair further down the line!

I am focused on providing my clients a service with the highest level of customer satisfaction and will do everything in my power to meet your expectations. My goal is to keep your horse sound, level and happy and you my clients, up in the saddle on a horse that is happy on it's feet!

I work with the horse, the owner and together we will find strategies to improve your horses way of going.

I don't just look at the foot, I look at the foot at the end of a leg and every horse is an individual!

'Oliver has impressed us from day one with his incredible kindness, patience and charm to both man and beast! He takes time to relax the horses and carefully explains what he is doing and why it is necessary. He has consistently done a fantastic job with our horses of all ages and temperaments. He has demonstrated incredible skill and understanding in tackling any challenge that has come our way with outstanding results. We trust his judgement implicitly'

GFS Sporthorses

'I first met Ollie many years ago as an apprentice with my farrier Simon Legge on the Isle of Wight. I watched him develop his skills and use his great horsemanship over three years and he became not only our farrier but a close and trusted friend. Ollie helped with our young, our lame, awkward and old horses, shwing the highest professional attitude at all times.

Ollie is patient, conscientious, thorough and completely dedicated to his profession. He is truly missed on the Isle of Wight and we wish him all the very best in his career'

Rachael Peyton

'In recent months we required a change of yard farrier and Ollie came to shoe our horses. During his time with us he listened to my liveries and myself and shod all our horses accordingly in a calm and professional way. He is very approachable and easy to talk to with a great sense of humour'

Sarah Holmes - Lake Farm Yard Manager

'Oliver is punctual, totally trustworthy as well as a dedicated and skilled farrier. He is patient, calm and always takes the time needed to produce excellent work. Ollie's empathy with the horses is second to none, this is a gift that cannot be taught or faked. This approach is appreciated by the horses who both like him and respond wellin his presence.

From a clients point of view he is easy to converse with and to discuss any concerns or potential shoeing needs. He is a first class farrier'
