FARRIER and BLACKSMITH
The above photo shows Bode Stoddard (Jay's Great, Great Grandad) and family riding in style in a "Stoddard" automobile.
Jay Stoddard is a proud decendent of ""John W. Stoddard", the founder of one of the FIRST automobile companies in America, also a manufacturer of FINE AGRICULTURE IMPLEMENTA. The Stoddard-Dayton automobile would later go on WIN THE FIRST INDIANAPOLIS 500. These types of successes are common to the Stoddard bloodline.
This is a photo of a 1910 Stoddard auto, with a "camping" option/innovation.
Jay tries to carry on such innovations thru his farrier work, the "Stoddard Shoe" being just ONE of the innovations that he has brought to the table of horseshoeing. A shoe that brings new hope and promise to horses suffering from founder. He also has a line of hoof products that will be available on this site in the near future, so keep an eye out.
One of his products is already available on e-bay under "thrush treatment", a product engineered and produced by Jay Stoddard himself. "Stoddard's Thrush Treatment" is the brainchild of Jay Stoddard and is nothing short of miraculous when it comes to the treatment of THRUSH and WHITELINE DISEASE, the TWO single most common ailments afflicting the equine hoof.
Jay thrives to carry on a family tradition of innovation and skills thru his shoeing practice, introducing many techniques and treatments to the horseshoeing world.
Born to Bio-chemist John W. Stoddard (which he attributes his immense logic) and Rose Nelson, to whom he attributes his kind and caring nature towards animals....Jay was raised in West Alabama, where horsemanship was as common as "Cornbread and catfish". His family lived in a horse training facility for a number of years, where Jay would hone his horsemanship and farrier skills ....he put his first horseshoe on at the age of 10, that was over 25 years ago...
Since that time, Jay has devoted his life and limb to his blacksmithing career, investigating and researching every technique in the farrier world for correctness, usefulness , and also introducing many revolutionary techniques of his own. Jay leaves no stone unturned in his crusade to find all the answers and knowledge associated with sound farriery and equine science.
Jay has been a staunch advocate in the prevention and abolition of "iatrogenic" illnesses, and other perverse vet./ farrier techniques the are used for no other purposes than to extort money from the horse owner. Mechanics, doctors , farriers, vets. often use these tactics, Jay can proudly and honestly can say that he has never engaged in these types of shoddy tactics. He carries prodigious amounts of passion and a wealth of knowledge in his travels as a farrier. Hiring him(Jay) insures you will always know that someone truly cares for your animals and has the competence to successfully treat any problems your horse may have. He understands and believes that perception and communication can often be key in successfully treating and shoeing your horse, coining the phrase "Horses and books are a lot alike, they don't speak, but if ya know how to read them, they'll tell you everything."

The above picture is proof positive that Jay's work withstands the scrutiny of even the most discriminating connoisseurs of hooves...(modeled by Sir Frederick Wentz of Katie Acres Riding School.)
