I'm looking for a new farrier for my horses. I'm located in Jamestown TN. How does one go about finding a good farrier? Word of mouth? It's been 11 years since I've had to find one and I'm not looking forward to it. Any recommendations would be gladly received!

<p>I have a 4 year-old TB mare who just got her hooves done a week ago. She is an ex-race horse, so she had flat, flat feet to start with and the farrier wanted to shape them to give her a bit of a heel. He did this without asking and he's never there when we're there. The foot chipped at the front and it is a reddish colour around the nails and the chipped area. It's soft when you push down on the chipped area, but it doesn't seem to bother her at all. Right now, i am cleaning her hooves…</p>

The foot chipped at the front and it is a reddish colour around the nails and the chipped area. It's soft when you push down on the chipped area, but it doesn't seem to bother her at all. Right now, i am cleaning her hooves regularly, and then applying some hoof dressing and messaging the coronary band. The paddocks at our barn are sandy, and the manager never let's the troughs overflow a bit where there is some mud. I now that it sound like I am over reacting, but she is my baby and my first horse, so I want to take care of her to the best of my abilities. </p>

We've both(fiancé and I) been looking into farrier programs or school here in Ontario. I know Seneca used to years ago but got rid of it...dying trade I suppose and Kemptville is a little to far. Anyway, my fiancé is interested in doing this as a career change, we are planning to move out west in a few months and start a ranch, and want to shoe our own horses. We were hoping to finish a short course and do an apprenticeship out there. Olds College, Alberta is now turned into a 2 year full…
