History
Alvin Farrier Supply was established October 28th, 1992 by Tom and Janice Stiefel of Alvin, Texas. Tom, a Farrier of 30 years, developed the company after he was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and could no longer actively shoe horses. He was joined by his wife, Janice, who retired from IBM at the Johnson Space Center after 30 years. The company has grown steadily through the years in both walk-in, ship-out and now internet customers with our new on-line catalog. Due to this growth, the product base and buying power has allowed us to keep prices competitive. In the fall of 1998 our daughter, Joy Smith, joined the company to keep up with the demands of the business. In October of 1999, we opened our second location in Tomball, Texas , only 13 miles from the Sam Houston Race park. Our youngest daughter Tonia operates this location. We pride ourselves in providing quality customer service with friendliness and technical assistance.
