traditional farriery

Traditional farriery involves the care and maintenance of a horse’s hooves through trimming and shoeing. A farrier assesses the horse’s hoof health, trims the hoof to promote proper balance and movement, and may fit custom-made or traditional metal shoes to protect or enhance hoof function. This practice requires a combination of skilled craftsmanship and understanding of equine biomechanics, aiming to keep horses comfortable, healthy, and able to perform their tasks effectively. Farriery is a vital aspect of equine care, supporting the horse’s overall well-being through precise and expert hoof management.
