For Horse Owners
Farriery is an essential part of the routine care of a horse. Without regular hoof maintenance a horse may not be able to lead a healthy life and its welfare may be put at risk.
Farriers who are registered to practise in Great Britain are qualified and experienced professionals, regulated in law by the Farriers (Registration) Act 1975, and they are required to comply with the Farrier, Approved Training Farrier and Apprentice Code of Professional Conduct.
By using the services of a Registered Farrier a horse owner or carer may be reassured that their animal is receiving the best possible hoof care.
For further information about the farriery profession, ways to check a farrier’s registration and the client’s responsibilities to provide a safe environment in which the farrier may work see below.
