ITS NOT THE FARRIERS JOB:

Farrier - Inspects, trims and shapes horses’ hooves, fits and nails horseshoes.

Each person’s idea of WHAT the farriers job includes is different to the next person, and often a question I get asked is if I know of a good farrier...

One that is patient, replies to calls/messages and arrives on time. We all want that but do we understand what is (and is not) in the farriers job description?
What is the farriers job and what is ours, and how can we make ourselves good clients that have and keep good farriers.

I see so often the farrier get the blame for unprepared horses, that is purely a lack of the owner’s preparation and responsibility.

If things don’t go well, we don’t get to blame our farrier for what is OUR own lack of preparation.

That means: preparing our horses to be comfortable physically and mentally, having them stand up and prepared for their feet to be handled, picked up, rasped, held between legs, bring feet back and forth with the same duration that will be expected by our farriers, and all of this done BEFORE the farrier shows up.

Not just his feet picked up and put down, with little asked of the horse.

If our horse can’t confidently and patiently stand for the same duration that it takes to get feet worked on, adding someone who’s asking them to do it on three legs isn’t going to improve in one farrier visit.

Separation anxiety and poor handling practices should be addressed on our time, not the farrier’s. This means working and improving on ourselves to have this in our horses, this may mean further education for HANDLER and horse.

The farrier has the right to stop a session at any time and reschedule if the horse is not prepared, it is not the farrier’s job to educate the horse to be handled - but our farrier should be considerate to our young or troubled horses’ needs. This means allowing time for the horse so it takes less time for further sessions.

We don’t just have a responsibility to our horses, but to our farriers as well.

Good farriers come to well prepared clients, and a person will always do more than what is expected when they feel considered and appreciated.

Be good to your farrier - No Hoof No Horse!
