Farrier
UK
No
aspect of horse ownership, management, keeping or use is more important than
ensuring the horses’ health and welfare. Owners and keepers of horses have a
moral and legal responsibility to care for them and to ensure their physical
and mental well being.
Whether
an owner has day to day care of their horse or not, they remain ultimately responsible
for their animals at all times, and so must ensure that its care is always in safe
and reliable hands, and that includes the Farrier.
The Farriers (Registration) Act 1975
and Farriers Registration (Amendment) Act 1977 makes it an offence for anyone who is
not registered with the Farriers Registration Council to carry out Farriery.
Farriery is defined as any work in connection with the preparation or treatment
of the foot of a horse for the immediate reception of a shoe thereon, the fitting
by nailing or otherwise of a shoe to the foot or the finishing off of such work
to the foot. The definition does not include trimming the foot if there is no
intention of immediately fitting a shoe.
