It’s all about the trim. It’s a common refrain among farriers, but is the practice receiving its due diligence or is it merely lip service? In Fabio Gnoatto’s Wellington, Fla., practice, trimming is the mainstay.

Back in January 2013, Delaware, Ohio, farrier Dean Moshier was invited to be on an online radio show Stable Scoop on Horse Radio Network. In it, he discussed a top 10 list of what most farriers wanted their clients to know. Over the last 3 years, these questions and answers have evolved, mainly influenced by client interactions within Moshier’s practice. He recently delivered this at the Midwest Horse Fair, which draws tens of thousands of equine enthusiasts to south-central Wisconsin every year.
