Horseshoeing and Farrier Training

While it might at first seem to be a simple job, the farrier's tasks involve more than handling the occasional horse in need of health services. A farrier's routine work is primarily hoof cleaning, trimming and shoeing, but can expand into preventative medicine.

The farrier couples a subset of the blacksmith's skills with a subset of veterinary medicine to primarily address the care of a horse's hooves, feet and legs. This is a job with considerable physical requirements.
