American Farriers Journal thanks the many farriers who dedicate their time, skills and commitment to the equine industry. This year marks the 26th annual Farriers Week — a time we set aside to celebrate your professional contributions.

There are a handful of farriers who have a unique perspective on the veterinarian-farrier relationship. Fewer than 10 of the veterinary colleges in the United States have full-time farriers. These professionals have regular workloads in the clinics, but also serve the veterinary schools in other capacities.
