Sound Hooves, Sound Business: The Farrier's Craft 08-04-2025
Where craftsmanship meets commerce - explore the world of farriering, from its artistry and understanding of equine physiology to the practical realities of running a fee-for-service business. Learn how farriers juggle self-employment, equipment and medical costs, and the importance of mentorship and injury prevention. We also discuss a horse's wellbeing through routine hoof care, honest owner communication, and the use of modern technology. Whether you're choosing a certified farrier or are interested in becoming one, visit the Maryland Farrier's Association or the American Farrier's Association.
