Client tip of the month

May-
Tied horses. All farriers have different preferences when shoeing horses. If your horse is tied, please do so in a safe manner. Crossties should have a piece of bailing twine or similar on the wall attachment side. This will allow for things to break when needed and have a long section attached to the now loose horse. This isn’t the time to train a horse to tie and not pull back. Don’t tie your horse to the shed door handle.

We’ve recently had one of our farriers hurt in a way that could have been prevented. Let’s keep horses safe and farriers safe!

Horses can be easily startled by traffic, and rear up, pivot, “wheel” around, or bolt away. Also, if they misstep, they stumble to the side — it’s a natural part of their movement.

Both scenarios can be highly hazardous to humans – those in or on wheeled vehicles and those mounted on horseback – as well as the animal.

Make sure to slow down, reduce noise, and be patient when passing (widely). For more tips from TranBC, visit: https://bit.ly/3aWnoNk

The farrier business provides a broader range of working situations and income possibilities than just about any trade or business.
