Ross Smith, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, has shod horses for 40 years—a career that led him to develop an innovative tool for balancing a horse’s hoof when trimming and shoeing.
BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT: If you are looking for a farrier - the last thing you want to do is horse around. “No hoof, no horse,” said Robert Head, a Farrier who lives in Havilah.

A farrier, alternately, is a specialist involved in overall hoof care health, utilizing the skills of a blacksmith and maintains ongoing knowledge of the hoof anatomy like a veterinarian.
Most of this work is done with a horse weighing several hundred kilograms looming overhead, with the hoof tucked between the farrier’s legs, or sometimes resting on a stand.
