Farriery - Horse Shoeing, Hoof Care & Trimming

  
    There are no new things in farriery only forgotten ones, because we have never learned them from the old masters who left no written records. A decent farrier grows better from experience like a soldier that grows better from each battle. There are many books and studies but every horse is different, as well as, his feet, and a farrier that listens to a veterinarian has no understanding of farriery.
