Farriery is a centuries old profession that hasn’t changed much at its core. However, in this day and age, technology can help take your hoof-care business to the next level.
A farrier practice is a business - there is no surprise about that. As professionals, practitioners have a responsibility to maintain accurate records to ensure proper scheduling, billing, payment and taxes. At the same time, farriers also should keep records on clients and the type of work conducted on their horses, including photographs of the feet or radiographs shared by veterinarians.
