The work and craft of a farrier, a person who shoes horses and cares for their hooves.
From Old French 'ferrier' (blacksmith), derived from Latin 'ferrarius' meaning 'iron worker.' The word evolved to specifically mean someone who works with horses' feet and horseshoes.
Medieval farriers were as crucial to civilization as veterinarians are today—without them, armies couldn't move, merchants couldn't trade, and knights couldn't ride into battle. A blacksmith with a horse specialty was literally worth their weight in gold.
