Farriers Registration Council

Regulating the profession of Farriery

The Farriers (Registration) Act 1975, as amended, requires the Farriers Registration Council (FRC) to deliver four principal functions and associated outputs; they are: Registration, Approvals, Investigating and Disciplinary.

The Farriers Registration Council (FRC) is a corporate body established under the Farriers (Registration) Act 1975 to regulate farriery in Great Britain; the Council maintains a register of farriers who may practise farriery in Great Britain.

The Council’s vision: "Prevention and avoidance of suffering by equines through ensuring that equine owners are able to access the equine hoof-care that best meets their needs in a timely and assured manner; this care will be delivered only by those capable, qualified and registered to do so."
