Serving the farriers, ranchers and equine community of Yavapai County since 1999.
In 1999 Bob and Pat Earle opened Four Shoes Farrier Supply to serve the horseshoeing and equine community of Yavapai County. Bob shod horses from 1989-2018 and now enjoys blacksmithing and creating knives in his shop. Pat grew up riding Thoroughbreds and backyard horses, as a member of the local 4-H club, and visiting the racetracks throughout Southern California. The Earles still have one of their first horses, Fancy Slew, granddaughter to the great Seattle Slew, who enjoys her retirement with her good friend Sweet Pea.

Pat's dad, Herb Humboldt, grew up in Southern California riding horses and collecting animals of all kinds. His first bill of sale for a horse included payment of a sheep and two chickens! After returning home from WWII, Herb attended college at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo enrolling in the horseshoeing program. Hoof care has been in the family ever since. A display of Herb's own horseshoeing tools is proudly hanging at Four Shoes.

As a fun Christmas adventure, and the best present ever, Bob, Pat and daughter Kate, rode horses on the beach in Santa Barbara.
Always horses!

Always horses!
Pat's mom, Virginia Humiston Humboldt, was one of the first women issued a trainer's license at Santa Anita Racetrack. She and Herb both trained Thoroughbreds throughout California in the late 1960's and 1970's. A poster of Willie Shoemaker hangs in Four Shoes as a reminder of that gutsy woman trainer and the day she gave the boot to Shoemaker when her long shot crossed the finish line first!
