Horse owners are urged to have a good relationship with their farrier and to talk to him, or her, about the work they intend to do with their horse and any concerns they have. Farriers are highly skilled professionals and are equally concerned for the animals they hold so dear.
In addition to the Awards, the Company runs courses and seminars for farriers to further enhance their skills and the Liverymen of the Company also sit on a number of committees which are concerned with equine matters and rural affairs in general.
The city of London has over 100 Livery Companies that all began as Guilds concerned witht their specific trade. Howaver, the Company is justifiably proud that it is probably the last to still have direct responsibility for its craft and through that, a major role in the welfare of the horse.
