A blacksmith who specializes in shoeing horses and treating their hooves and feet; someone who cares for equine health and ironwork.
From Old French 'ferrier' (blacksmith), derived from Latin 'ferrum' (iron), since farriers work extensively with metal horseshoes and tools.
Before cars, farriers were essential members of every community—their skill combined blacksmithing, veterinary knowledge, and an intuitive understanding of animal behavior, making them true craftspeople.
