Why Horse Owners Seek Fairview Haven Equine

Most horse owners come to Nichole carrying something heavy:

  • worry that they’re missing signs

  • frustration with inconsistent practitioners

  • confusion about conflicting advice

  • guilt for “not knowing enough”

  • fear that their horse’s discomfort means something worse
     

You need someone who explains the details without weighing you down.

​

Nichole offers what the equine world craves:

​

relief — from the chaos, the guessing, the spiraling
clarity — from someone who sees patterns others overlook
guidance — steady, patient, grounded
consistency — she shows up, always, without fail

​

Here, you don’t have to know everything.
Caring is enough to begin.
Nichole helps with the understanding.

What Makes Fairview Haven Different

Careful Assessment

While others rush, Nichole watches.
 

Connecting the Dots

While others treat problems, she connects patterns.

A Real Partnership

While others speak in jargon, she speaks in plain language.

Case Management

Her background in critical care nursing trained her eye to notice micro-changes —
the kind that predict what the horse’s body will do next.

Osteopathy

Nichole's training in equine osteopathy taught her how small shifts in the hoof ripple through the entire body.

Barefoot Trimming

And her barefoot trimming practice allows her to guide the horse through gradual, meaningful change instead of one giant shock every six weeks.

This isn’t about the hoof or the spine or the stride.
It’s about the whole horse, seen clearly at last.

Success Stories

Move with such freedom and comfort now...

"Absolutely thrilled with the hoof care and equine bodywork provided by Nichole! My horse's feet have never been healthier or more balanced, and the difference after a bodywork session is simply amazing.
 
They move with such freedom and comfort now. A true master of their craft – highly, highly recommend!"

Harri Jo

More supple and his range of motion is unbelievable...

Nichole is a talented & knowledgeable farrier. She sees what is going on with the hoof, explains it and describes how she is addressing it plus she tells you what to watch for in between trims. I’m no expert but he is moving as though he is more comfortable and is perhaps balanced.
 
She is also an osteopath and WOW her treatments have made him much more supple and his range of motion is unbelievable for a 21 year old! Now with improved mobility he trots out— fun to ride! Thank you Nichole…

Her patience and expertise are a blessing!

Nichole has been a lifesaver for my navicular gelding! She expertly guided us through the process of transitioning out of shoes and rehabilitating the hoof. Her patience and expertise are a blessing!

Who This Work Is For

You’ll be a great fit if you’re:

  • open-minded and curious
     

  • willing to learn and participate
     

  • ready for honest communication
     

  • seeking a practitioner who prioritizes consistency tired of feeling confused or dismissed

You’re not a fit if you:

  • are financially limited to shorter trim cycles
     

  • will only communicate through text
     

  • jump between practitioners impatiently
     

Nichole works best with owners who want to partner with the process — not outsource the responsibility.

The Transformation

Who This Work Is For
(and Not For)

Nichole's work helps horses: 

  • unwind long-held compensations
     

  • move with more comfort, balance, and confidence
     

  • develop healthier biomechanics
     

  • reduce the risk of injury
     

  • return to natural, fluid movement

Owners receive a transformation also:​

  • understanding replaces overwhelm
     

  • clarity replaces confusion
     

  • confidence replaces fear
     

  • partnership replaces guesswork

She’s not just treating your horse.
She’s teaching you how to see.
