Sarah Logie FWCF. Somewhere to share what Ive been upto and to share some ideas and pics! As well as increase her referral work.

Sarah Logie FWCFSarah served her apprenticeship in the Scottish highlands with Robin Pape and made history in 2006 by being the first ever female to qualify with honours.During the following summer she worked in the USA on the exchange program as a chosen representative of the UK farriery industry. Upon returning home to Scotland she spent time working with specialist farriers in Britain and then

went on to work in New Zealand over the winter.In 2007 she set up S. Logie Farriery whilst continuing to work alongside Robin as part of Farley Forge.Furthering her studies she went on to sit the Associate exam in 2012, passing with Distinction.As a result of seeing an increase in environmental related foot infections particularly seedy toe she embarked upon the Fellowship exam with a thesis looking at the treatment of structural seedy toe by medication and filling.She successfully passed the exam in May 2017 and became one of only two women to hold the qualification. There are less than 50 ‘Fellows’ worldwide and is the highest recognised qualification within the profession.Sarah is using her qualification to help educate other farriers and support them as they work towards their higher exams through the 'Farriery tuition' service. Improving performance within the equine athlete is an area she particularly enjoys.

🦸Standing still is a SUPERPOWER! 🦹

Horses will need regular hoof care throughout their whole life - teaching them the key skill of standing, relaxed is the best gift you can give them.

❗Can your horse reliably stand for their routine appointment? ❗
This foundational skill requires practice, practice and more PRACTICE!

🏆The benefits are absolutely worth it:
✅ Safer!
✅ Less stress for the horse, farrier and owner
✅ More efficient hoof care
✅ Earlier detection of discomfort and proactive management

🐴 Set the environment up for success:
✅ Shoeing area should be clean, dry, level, with good lighting and enough space to move
✅ Free from distractions. Avoid busy times like feeding and turn out times. Free range children, animals and friends with a pocket full of polos should be kept out of the way
✅ Manage the flies!
✅ Have a buddy horse nearby (temperament dependent)
✅ Get the horse moving before the appointment. Exercise to loosen off muscles and burn excess energy. Turn out if you can clean and dry legs in time
✅ Use appropriate restraint if necessary. Talk the options through with your farrier which could include holding the horse, cross ties, Horslyx to reward standing still or sedation

“SAFETY IS NO ACCIDENT”
⛔ 80% of farriers reported at least one injury requiring hospital treatment in their career
⛔ 46% felt injury was avoidable if the horse had better handling
⛔ 30% felt injury was avoidable if the environment was better managed

👀Think a horse could be a good fit for your farm or smallholding but not sure where to get started? 🤓We're running a special weekend focusing on farming and forestry skills with our working horses! We'll cover harnessing and long lining, and safe hitching and unhitching. Get hands on and learn the basics of horse logging 🌲, using horses to help mange pastures 💩, try out horse drawn tools and help manage a market garden 🥦, spend some time on the road in a carriage, and get to grips with the most used tool on the farm the sledge! Just £375 per person for 3 days, and only 3 spaces remaining!! Just outside Carmarthen. Suitable for all levels of experience, must have a sense of humour! 🤪 4th to the 6th July
