The Farriers Registration Act 1975 prohibits the shoeing of horses by unqualified persons. The Worshipful Company of Farriers is responsible for ensuring the high standards necessary in a modern farrier.
Farriers serve a four-year apprenticeship, attend a period of training at a school of farriery and must pass both written and practical examinations. The Army also trains farriers to a high standard.
It is against the LAW for anyone other than a registered Farrier to shoe a horse or to describe himself as a farrier, shoeing smith or use any description which might indicate that he is a farrier.
Britain has the highest standards of Farriery anywhere in the World. You should always check that anyone shoeing your horse is a registered Farrier or an apprentice under supervision.
