Precision Farrier Tools Since 1946

Beth Garner – Owner: 1973-1993

Our History

In 1946, George Earnest setup a small shop in Klamath Falls, Oregon, to fill requests for custom-made horseshoeing tools. One farrier told another about nippers that cut better and lasted longer than any others, and the enterprise grew.

The business has changed ownership and location several times since, but the tools that are named for George Earnest still make the shoer’s work easier and hold up better under hard use than all the rest.

Our pledge to our customers is to continue this tradition of excellence, combining the craftsmanship of skilled hands with modern methods and machinery, to produce superior tools.
