His ever-growing interest in therapeutic farriery drove him to pursue further training in the study and management of the equine hoof. Dr. Pullen received his received his D.V.M. degree from Cornell University, and currently travels between the Northeast and Texas managing a diverse caseload of horses of various breeds and disciplines. Dr. Pullen focuses exclusively on the treatment of lameness and diseases associated with the foot, often in collaboration with his mentors Drs. Ric Redden and Sammy Pittman. He specializes in treating complex foot issues such as laminitis, podotrochlosis (navicular disease), white line disease, soft tissue injuries, septic pedal osteitis, angular limb deformities and variety of other conditions.
Dr. Pullen’s dedication to the area therapeutic farriery is demonstrated through his work as a lecturer at numerous podiatry seminars and continuing education events, both within the U.S and internationally. He currently sits on the board of directors for the Northeast Association of Equine Practitioners, and is actively involved with Colorado State University's College of Veterinary Medicine's new podiatry initiative.
Joe O'Leary
Joe has been a fixture in the farrier community in NW Vermont for decades. Joe started with the Hoofworks team in 2012 when Jaret injured his knee. After Joe bailed Jaret out of that debaucle, he stayed on and continues to bail Jaret out on a normal basis. Joe puts the fires out at home while Jaret is abroad and provides a much needed hand when Jaret is back in the Northeast. Joe has gained a lot of therapeutic farriery experience and has proven an invaluble part of the team. After a short Motocross career, Joe enjoys spending his rare free time flying small airplanes around the skies of Vermont.
Diesel
Past Practice manager, Present Manager of the After-life Division
Diesel was with the team from the very beginning. It was his persistent drive for quality and efficiency that has made Hoofworks what it is today. After 14 years of dedicated service, he has left to work an administrative roll for the After-life division of Hoofworks. Before his departure he worked tirelessly to train a suitable replacement. While still assisting the team, his presence is sorely missed.
Wile E. Coyote
Super Genius
Wile joined Hoofworks toward the end of 2015. He came aboard with the idea of taking over the roll of practice manager after Diesel's retirement. Hoofworks quickly realized Wile's true potential lies elsewhere in the Hoofworks machine. Wile's unique skill set lends it self to a plethora or other cruial supportive rolls that few others would be able to fill.
