Eli Chisholm is an American Farrier's Association (AFA) Certified Farrier and has been shoeing horses since graduating from Montana State University's Farrier School in 2015. After returning to the Flathead Valley, they continued their education as an apprentice for 3 years, in addition to starting their own farrier service, Pride Hoof Care.
Before becoming a farrier, Eli received a BA from Indiana University Bloomington in Gender Studies, with a minor in Sociology along with an undergraduate honors thesis. Eli loves to snowboard, garden, backcountry hike and trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Mixed Martial Arts at SBG gyms. However, curling up next to the wood stove with a good book is also a favorite past time.
They reside in the "Little Steel Box", a shipping container home Eli and their husband Jai built from scractch. This
house is also home to two blue heelers Ophilia (aka 'Derpus') & Kybo (alias 'Bread
Loaf'). But, no household is complete without a ball python, and his name is Marley.
Both Eli and Jai also volunteer with
DREAM Adaptive Recreation in Whitefish,
MT.
