Just a friendly reminder as we enter the heat dome🔥, that Farriers are real people and not machines. Therefore, care must be taken to avoid heat stroke and heat exhaustion 🤒. Doing laborious work while the temperatures are hot increases the chance of heat related illness, not to mention that standing near a forge that runs at 3000⁰F while wearing boots, jeans and chaps doesn't help. Please protect your farrier and do your best to make their work safe.

There are a few things that you as an owner can do to ease the strain that extreme heat has on your farrier!

A space out of direct sun is a must!
Please provide a heavily shaded area, shelter, barn or shop for a safe workspace. 🌞

If you have access to a large fan, desensitize your horses to it in advance and allow it to run while work is being done. 🌬

Bugs love the heat so give your horse a good spray with repellent prior to your appointment!🦟

Farrier work is very physical, this naturaly increases the body's core temperature.
Increased body temperature + insanely hot weather= a fried farrier 🍗
A cold glass of juice or water helps immensely and is appreciated beyond words. Although most farriers carry their own water to drink, staying hydrated is a difficult task when you can't keep up to the buckets of sweat. ♨️

Remember that the heat makes work extra exhausting, so please be patient and kind with your farrier ❤

If you are unable to provide a safe work environment during the extreme heat, appointments may need to be rescheduled or booked earlier in the day before temps get spicy.🔥 Safety is priority.
We appreciate your kindness and understanding.

To all my clients I’m got to be using the next few weeks to rearrange my schedule to minimize driving time and try to reduce costs. I’m sorry if this causes any inconvenience or delays in your farrier care. I’m doing everything I can to not raise prices again.
