Caring is enough to begin.

What Makes Fairview Haven Different
Careful Assessment
Nichole watches and listens.
Connecting the Dots
While others treat individual problems,
she connects patterns.
A Real Partnership
Nichole speaks in plain, clear 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 and body can have a ripple effect.
Barefoot Trimming
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.
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!

About Nichole
Nichole has lived her entire professional life in places where details matter —first as a critical care nurse, now as an equine osteopath and barefoot trimmer.
Her work blends medical precision with quiet, intuitive observation.
She explains without overwhelming.
She simplifies without dumbing down.
She shows up with the same reliability the equine world often lacks.
Most practitioners give you a moment.
Nichole gives you a path.
Fairview Haven is where the unwinding begins.
Every horse is different.
Every situation has context.
Before deciding what your horse needs, Nichole starts by listening.
All services begin with a Discovery Call, where you’ll talk through your horse’s history, current concerns, and goals — and decide together on the right path forward.
If you’re ready for clearer understanding, steadier progress, and a horse who moves with more comfort and confidence…
Case Consultation
Clarity before action.
Not sure what’s going on with your horse — or feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice?
A case consultation gives you space to:
-
review your horse’s history and current symptoms
-
make sense of previous care or diagnoses
-
understand what you’re seeing — and what it may mean
-
get grounded guidance on next steps
This is often the first step for owners who want clarity before committing to hands-on work.
In-Person Care
Hands-on support, guided by the whole picture.
Nichole offers in-person services designed to support comfort, balance, and healthier movement — always tailored to the individual horse.
Services may include:
-
Barefoot Trimming & Hoof Care
-
Equine Osteopathy
-
BEMER PEMF Therapy
-
Graston IASTM (Equine)
Rather than booking a single service in isolation, Nichole works with you to determine what combination — and timing — best supports your horse’s healing process.
