Cooper Farrier Services Horseshoeing services in Wellington
Trained by Richard Clarkson of Wellington Farrier Services and P I have owned and ridden horses for 15 years.

Trained at the Pacific Coast Horseshoeing School, California, USA, under Bob Smith, Chairman of the American Farriers Association Education Council, and an Inductee of The International Horseshoeing Hall of Fame. In USA, I gained a Diploma in Farrier Science, Certification with the American Farriers Education Council, and Certificates in Equine Anatomy, Conformation, Lameness, and Forge Principles

and Application. I graduated top of Class, and worked alongside some very successful Professional Farriers, on both English sport horses, and Western reiners, as well as pleasure mounts and miniatures

In New Zealand, I have worked under Richard Clarkson, who has mentored me along my journey since the beginning. I believe good, sound shoeing is hugely important in an equine athletes life, and while I like routine shoeing, I really enjoy working with vets and other farriers on corrective cases and improving performance.

This mornings client used AI to create me a theme song

Out in the paddock at break of day,
Wil Cooper’s hammer rings away.
With ginger hair and a cheeky grin,
He shoes the horses, thick and thin.

Wil Cooper, the farrier king,
Hot chocolate in hand, hear the anvil ring.
With Brie by his side and a baby on the way,
He’s living the dream every single day.

He loves his horses, beer, and tractors too,
Fixes a hoof like nobody else can do.
Though he’s ginger, we say with pride,
It’s just more fire he’s got inside!

Brie’s got a sparkle, Wil’s got the charm,
Soon a baby girl will be safe in his arms.
From muddy boots to lullabies,
He’ll trade his forge for family ties.

Wil Cooper, the farrier king,
Hot chocolate in hand, hear the anvil ring.
With Brie by his side and a baby on the way,
He’s living the dream every single day.

So here’s to Wil, with his heart so wide,
A tractor ride and a horse to stride.
Raise your mugs, let the chorus fly,
Wil Cooper’s legend will never die!

Hi team

I'm getting a little fed up lately, so this is just a quick reminder that I, like all the other farriers around, have a full workload on and my weeks are booked out weeks in advance.

Texts and phone calls demanding I fit in an emergency stop this week just aren't appreciated, and to be honest, I'm inclined to just ignore them

A little courtesy, a "hello" before you list your demands, and the odd 'please' go a long way. Threats of moving to another farrier will be ignored.

I don't mean to bitch, but I'm getting more than a little bit over people demanding service. I'm one guy, trying to maintain my own clients and all those I've inherited this year.

As always, a huge thanks to the 99 % of my books who just get on with it, you rock 🪨
