Pennine Farrier

I am pleased to announce I am now an approved fitting partner with the hoof boot shop. I will be providing a complete fitting service along with my regular Farriery services. Hoof boots will give me another tool in the box for providing the best hoof care possible.

Dear customer,

As of the 1st of August my prices will be increasing.

I've held off for as long as possible and tried to reduce my costs in other ways but it is no longer possible to do so.

The increase in cost will be £10 for shoeing and £5 for trims.

Thank you for your support and custom

Dan

🐴 Good news for all our equine clients!! 🐴

We are delighted to be able to offer a vaccine to help with the symptoms of the ever-frustrating Sweet Itch that many horses and ponies really suffer with. The vaccine was developed as a ringworm vaccine in Germany but it is now being used early in the year and seems to reduce the itchy symptoms in many equines. 🐎🐎

Sweet Itch is characterised as an allergic response to midge bites and saliva and can cause intense itching and skin irritation. Preventing insects from contacting the horse is very important but treatment in the past has often been difficult and unrewarding. Topical treatments such as sprays and creams may only partially help, and steroid use to calm the inflammation would carry side effects if used in the longer term. 🦟

The vaccine should be used early in the year before the midges have returned after winter. The course of vaccination is only two injections, separated by fourteen days, however it is not recommended for pregnant mares. The cost of the course is £125 and the normal visit fee will also apply, however the visit fee can be shared between multiple clients on the same yard. 🙂

All welcome just let me know if you'd like tickets or to sponsor

Keeping all my horses fit, happy, healthy & sound is vitally important. A key component in their wellbeing is having regular farrier visits from a knowledgeable and experienced farrier.

Daniel Lowe is a huge part of my team. We've used Dan as our farrier for a number of years now. He works closely with me and my team to ensure that my horses are shod to an extremely high standard and keeps their feet in tip top condition, as well as putting back on any shoes that have been flung off in the field! 😇

I am very grateful for his help.

Channel 5 tomorrow at 8pm, I'm back on the telly box making a trim look difficult!
