About Our Equine Operations
Hamburg, at 5361 Old Route 22, is the base for Dave Deppen’s shoeing round. His site states the credential plainly: “Dave Deppen, CJF, is an American Farrier Association certified journeyman farrier.” He holds the office of treasurer at the Pennsylvania Professional Farriers’ Association and belongs to the World Champion Blacksmiths, and he is active in the Delaware-Maryland-Virginia, Maryland and Mid-Eastern farriers’ associations. No price list and no description of individual services is published; the page asks prospective clients to email or ring to find out whether he is taking anyone new. A reprinted hoof-care FAQ by Doug Butler of the Butler Professional Farrier School sits under a tips section.
