To tell the story of how the farrier has come to be, is relatively simple. As many would say, "farriers were born out of necessity". During the initial development of our society, the horse was instrumental and the care of him indispensable. Thus, the role of the hoof care provider (farrier) was born.
|
| As our industrial demands increased, so did our need to convert our raw materials into usable ones. Horses were called upon to be our "partners in labour" and their care was vital, so that we might enjoy the fruits of all that hard work. In those days, anyone having talent in the areas of horsemanship and horse care was a major asset for the success of all young and developing societies. |

A farrier is a skilled craftsperson with a sound knowledge of both theory and practice of the craft, capable of shoeing all types of feet, whether normal or defective, of making shoes to suit all types of work and working conditions, and of devising corrective measures to compensate for faulty limb action. |
