Genesis Farriers

The more Dave learned

about the practice

of standard farriery,

the more he realized

that he wanted

to go a different way.

Genesis Farriers is a division of Genesis Farms, LLC

- a 35 acre breeding facility

owned and operated by Dave and Lisa Giza in Culpeper, Virginia. 

Genesis Farms, LLC specializes in breeding & showing the

Genesis Clydesdales

as well as breeding

clydesdale-thoroughbred crossbreds.

Dave’s belief that

proper trimming is the

foundation for all hoof care

ultimately led to his decision to attend the

Institute of Applied Equine Podiatry

in Ocala, Florida

in lieu of a more traditional

farrier school.

& barefoot)

Although Dave’s training in equine podiatry

focused on balanced, barefoot trimming,

he also understood the need for shoeing in

competitive & corrective situations.

Dave gained his shoeing knowledge

through a local apprenticeship

with a master farrier in Middleburg, Virginia.

The combination of both farriery & podiatry training provide Dave with an extraordinary ability to customize trimming and shoeing needs to the

inner workings of each horse’s hoof!!
