When are apprentice farriers capable of having a business on their own? There are many variables at play from the experiences they've had to knowledge held to the types of horses and clients they want to work with and so on.

For the 15th year, we are promoting National Farriers Week. The year, the week falls July 7 to 13. From now until July 1, we encourage horse owners, trainers, riders, grooms, veterinarians and others in the equine community to submit pictures and videos of their farriers at work with horses and to share their appreciation for those efforts. We will publish these on our website.
