Newman opened in the morning and shod horses in the afternoon &acirc;&euro;&rdquo; thus beginning our rather unusual business hours of closing at noon. Verna Lee sold the business in the late 1970&#8217;s to Denny Bryan. Denny had been shoeing on the Trotter and Pacer&#8217;s Track, but decided to let that part of his life go and give being a &#8220;home-body&#8221; a try. Denny was a very accomplished blacksmith and shoer and thought it would be a nice mix&#8230; the shoeing supply in the morning and shoeing in the afternoon. But, the lure of the track was calling, and Denny wanted to give it one more run&#8230;<br \/>\n<em>Side note &acirc;&euro;&rdquo; Guy, Newman and Verna&#8217;s son is still a long time shoer and customer of ours!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In 1982 Denny&#8217;s parents, Stan and Janis Bryan, took over the shop to let Denny have one more whirl at the Race Tracks. Stan and Janis didn&#8217;t know a thing about shoeing horses but they were quite a team when it came to running a business. With Stan&#8217;s business sense and Janis&#8217;s bookkeeping they built up a profitable business. In doing so, they realized that help was needed, and Denny came back to work at the shop and soon they engaged the help of their daughter-in law, Vicky ( married to their son Wayne) .<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_42\" style=\"width: 283px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bryanhorseshoeingsupply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/denny_shoes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-42  colorbox-8\" title=\"Denny's handmade shoes\" src=\"https:\/\/bryanhorseshoeingsupply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/denny_shoes-273x300.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage rearview mirror with an image of a man in a workshop.\" width=\"273\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bryanhorseshoeingsupply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/denny_shoes-273x300.jpg 273w, https:\/\/bryanhorseshoeingsupply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/denny_shoes.jpg 584w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 273px) 100vw, 273px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-42\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Denny's handmade shoes<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Denny took over the shop in 2004 when both parents had passed. He and Vicky ran it until 2011. When Denny knew his time was drawing to an end, a decision was made to turn the reins over to his brother Wayne and Vicky.<\/p>\n<p>Wayne has made a successful business of shoeing horses in the backcountry for over 35 years. He still remains doing so, but does get into the shop about once a week to stay abreast of the constanly changing inventory.<\/p>\n<p>Vicky is there almost everyday and has made it her goal to have everything a farrier would need and a few items they don&#8217;t realize they need. BHS wants everyone that walks through their doors to feel welcomed. In this day and age where so much &#8220;personal contact&#8221; has been lost due to the internet, social networking, mail orders and deliveries she strives to maintain that one-on-one relationship with her valued customers. BHS recognizes that they serve some of the best in the business and continually strive to help them maintain that status.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, a new member has been added to the team. She is Dannette Harmeson, married to Jason Harmeson &acirc;&euro;&rdquo; another respected, accomplished horseshoer. Dannette&#8217;s knowledge of the trade and involvement with the local San Diego County Farriers Association will make for a nice blend at BHS.<\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bryan Horseshoeing Supply (BHS) is located in Lakeside, the eastern porton of San Diego County, and has been a family run business for more than 30 years.
