Tips on Choosing a Farrier

   
farrier with anvil An American Farrier's Association's publications for horse owners, "Choosing a Quality Farrier," maintains that choosing a farrier to provide hoof care for your horse is one of the most important decisions you will make as a horse owner for the well being of your horse. You should choose your farrier in a systematic and educated manner to assure that you will obtain the services of a farrier who will best fit your needs and the needs of your horse.

Improper hoof care can not only be costly but may lead also to your horse's injury and/or lameness.

In addition to checking out the potential farrier's background, his skill and knowledge level, you need to feel comfortable to be able to communicate with the farrier.

The pamphlet also addresses the client's responsibilities in order to keep a quality farrier.
