A farrier is a specialist in equine hoof care, including the trimming and balancing of horses' hooves and the placing of shoes on their hooves, if necessary.
Why do horses need to wear shoes?
Horse shoes are essential for hooves that are regularly in contact with rugged flooring, such as concrete or other rough surfaces.
This is because their hooves can be damaged from uneven or hard flooring, putting the animal at risk of standing on objects that damage their natural hooves.
