As we know farriery is an ancient craft that is rooted in tradition, stretching back thousands of years, but for me, my job is anything but old-fashioned. Working with horses isn’t just my job, it’s a passion that’s driven me to think beyond tradition and embrace innovation.
I’ve spent my farriery career helping horses stay sound and comfortable, combining traditional skills with modern science to ensure the best outcomes for them and their hooves. Every horse is different, and finding the right solution for each one, whether it’s barefoot, hoof boots, or something more permanent, it’s a challenge I’ve always loved.
Along the way, I’ve noticed something: the tools and techniques we rely on in farriery haven’t kept up with the times. Steel shoes, as effective as they’ve been, haven’t fundamentally changed since Roman times. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to rethink how we approach hoof protection.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing more about a new barefoot hoof boot that I’ve developed, a modern, forward-thinking alternative that prioritises comfort, movement, and practicality. It’s a project I’m incredibly proud of, and I can’t wait to share more with you.
Thank you for following along. I know horses are a big part of your life too, and probably love innovation where they are involved, so I think you may be curious about where this journey is headed, I hope you’ll find the weeks to come very interesting.
