Principal Farrier Seth Noble gives a short list of safety features in barns that are especially helpful to horses and farriers.
Equine athlete Bohdi was having a little trouble with his right front leg on tight circles. After examination and x-rays by Dr. Olivia Schroeder, VMD, the consensus on the equine care team was to lower the angle slightly and restore mediolateral balance on that hoof. Here's a quick look at the trimming process for Bohdi and some horsemanship tips from Seth Noble and farrier Dan Helton, CJF, who was up from New Mexico working with Seth the week of filming. Thank you, Dan!
In autumn of 2022, we invited out long-time friend and horse owner Sarah Takako Skinner to participate in our first Noble Farriery Signature Trim Clinic.

In this hour-long video, you get a glimpse of the classroom and the crew's work in the field.
Heat indicates inflammation, so by comparing two legs before we starting work and making note of what is normal for a horse, season-by-season, we might catch issues that otherwise evade detection.
