The Importance of Farriery

The Foundation of Every Step

A horse’s performance begins at the ground.

The health, balance, and condition of the hoof play a fundamental role in a horse’s comfort, movement, athletic ability, and long-term soundness. A skilled farrier does far more than simply trim a hoof or apply a horseshoe. Farriery is a specialized craft that combines horsemanship, anatomy, biomechanics, observation, and precision to support each horse as an individual.



For today’s sport horse, proper hoof care is especially important. Jumpers, dressage horses, hunters, eventers, and other performance horses are routinely asked to perform at an exceptionally high level. Their feet and limbs experience significant forces with every stride, landing, turn, and transition. Proper hoof balance and appropriate shoeing can help provide the traction, support, protection, and efficiency necessary for these demanding disciplines.
