American Farriers Journal needs your help to assess the current state of the farrier industry.
AFJ annually publishes the Farrier Business Practices Report, which is compiled from your survey responses. It assesses a range of topics such as annual income, footcare practices, business management, supply needs and the average charges for various services.
The Business Practices Survey is designed to help you properly examine the health of your business. How do your prices compare with others in your region? Are you on track for retirement? Is the equine industry growing, and what does that mean for farriers?
This survey is entirely confidential. Your individual responses will not be shared or associated with you in the Report. The data in its entirety will be shared with readers in AFJ’s July/August 2025 issue.
The Business Practices Report is the only one of its kind in the equine hoof-care industry, and AFJ depends on you to make it possible. We assess national and regional farrier trends and bring you insights to improve your business and footcare work.
More complete responses mean more comprehensive and actionable data to apply to your business tomorrow. To get the most out of the Business Practices Report, please take the survey today.
If you provide your name and email, we will send you the results in an exclusive downloadable report once the survey closes.
The 2025 Business Practices Survey closes March 2, 2025. Kill two birds with one stone this tax season and take the survey here.
