An update for Clients

I will be returning to work adhering to the following guidance. Please get in touch to arrange an appointment. 🐴🔨

It is agreed that the Farriers Registration Council’s interpretation of the Government’s updated guidance is that Registered Farriers may provide Farriery services to equines by arrangement with equine owners and with the following provisos:

▪️Any Registered Farrier showing the symptoms of coronavirus should immediately follow the NHS guidance on Covid-19 at https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/ and must not practise farriery.

▪️Registered Farriers should rigorously follow the guidance on social distancing, maintaining the 2m distance between humans while conducting Farriery at all times and in all locations.

▪️Registered Farriers should regularly wash their hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds, and clean their tools and equipment, including between consultations.

▪️Where Registered Farriers use Personal Protective Equipment, including face masks, this should be disposed of in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions and otherwise responsibly.

▪️If challenged by the Police or other law enforcement agency Registered Farriers should present their registration card and draw attention to this notice. Where necessary Police Officers or other Law Enforcement Agencies should be asked to contact the Farriers Registration Council.

▪️Equine owners and farriers are asked to note that this updated advice is interim and may need to be adjusted in future in light of events relating to the Coronavirus pandemic. Please regularly check back to the FRC website and the Covid-19 page on gov.uk at https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus

* Update for Clients *

I have taken the decision to stop working for the foreseeable future due to the restrictions from the Covid-19 pandemic. The logistics of having to move out of our family home in order to continue to provide services is a step too far for me with a young vulnerable family.

I apologise for the uncertain update & hope normality can be resumed before too long.
