Description
What is a Farrier?
A farrier is a specialist in equine (horse) hoof care, including the trimming and balancing of horses' hooves.
Just like your fingernails, horses hooves continue to grow. The farrier trims, smooths, and check the hooves for damage that may cause them pain.
Come out and watch as Becky, Dixie, and Pat get their regularly scheduled "pedicure" by our farrier.
