Episode 24 Farrier Safety Special
A few Episodes back we had then conversation about farrier safety. My fellow podcaster Brian Mullins reached out and said he wanted to start a similar conversation in North America. It was then we decided to get some other Farrier/Hoof Care Providers involved as at the end of the day we all work on the dangerous end of horses. Brian recruited Alicia Harlov from the Humble Hoof podcast and I managed to Press Gang Dr Simon Curtis from the Hoof of the Horse Podcast.Farrier Safety is a huge issue, although none of us started this job not knowing that it was a potentially dangerous job, Farrier safety awareness has become a talking point due to the amount of injuries and incidence witnessed via social media. The common denominator in most of these cases is that it could of been avoided.The British Farriers and Blacksmiths Association has recently carried out a survey looking in to Farrier injuries and the results are quite alarming.This podcast is about starting the conversation and changing the attitudes of not just the Farrier but more importantly the horse owner.
