Farriers work hard year-round to provide quality hoof care for horses worldwide. To honor their dedication and service, American Farriers Journal created National Farriers Week. In its 16th year, National Farriers Week is an opportunity to honor your farrier.
American Farriers Journal started the "Farriers Spotlight" in 2012, which is an online-exclusive compilation dedicated to showcasing some of the many farriers in the industry. The farriers featured here were either submitted to us by horse owners worldwide, or were stories sent in by farriers about what they are doing in the industry.
There are plenty of photos, videos and anecdotes for you to read and see. Be sure to share this with your family and friends, and stop by the "Thank You Farriers" page at the end of the Farriers Spotlight to give your own "thank you" to our beloved farriers.
Thank you farriers, and Happy Farriers Week!
