Horse owners can now check out a helpful new website from the Farriers’ Registration Council, which has detailed information on all aspects of farriery.
Particularly helpful is this easy-to-use site’s list of all registered farriers.
Thesite’s “Find a Farrier” service efficiently searches for your local registered practitioner.
The site also offers online advice regarding issuing a complaint about a farrier, as well as detailed information on apprenticeships.
A council spokeswoman said: “The site is a comprehensive guide to the trade in the United Kingdom.
“We receive countless telephone enquiries, and we are now able to refer all callers to the website.”Visit the site at www.farrier-reg.gov.uk
