Trainee Farrier

A Trainee Farrier works to treat and prepare horse hooves and provide horseshoeing services. You might inspect horse feet and attend to any issues including trimming or balancing. Trainee Farriers use heating, welding and hand tools to make metal horse shoes and fit and nail them to horses’ hooves.

Trainee Farriers often work irregular hours and you may be required to work weekends. You’ll need to be a good communicator because you’ll have to liaise with a range of clients. Customer service is important and you’ll need to be able to manage your time. Trainee Farriers should have excellent horse handling skills and must be able to manage challenging behaviours during treatment and fitting.
