It is my strong opinion that professional farriers should, and deserve, to be licensed to practice by statutory authority.

 With nearly one-third of all owners not having the majority of their horses shod, there’s a tremendous opportunity for you to educate owners on the many benefits of shoeing and trimming.

 During the December farrier liaison committee meeting of the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) in Baltimore, Md., the joint role that farriers and veterinarians play in foot care was a major topic.
