Farrier or Blacksmith
A horse shoe is a 'U'-shaped metal strip that a farrier fits to the feet of horses to protect their hooves.
A farrier, at the most can shoe about 6-7 horses a day. But, it takes about an hour and a half to do one horse!
a farrier takes care of horses shoes and hooves
I would get a horse boot to put on it's hoof until your farrier can come and put it back on. But I would ask your farrier. He would know best.
to get your horse shod call a farrier if you don't know where a farrier is then check a pony club notice Bord or a notice Bord in a saddlery ask fellow horse people.
A farrier or horseshoer will trim the feet, then size and shape the shoe before using horseshoe nails or a special glue to apply them to the horse's foot.
well, the one who makes the shoes is called a blacksmith. a farrier puts the shoes on the horse.
The average farrier costs are: $30 for a trim, $60 to shoe only 2 hooves, and $90 to shoe all 4 hooves. However, this will vary on if your horse needs special shoes/trimming, and who does your horse's hooves. A professional will cost more than your neighbor who does some farrier work on the side.
If you are just excerisng your Horse/Pony in the arena, dismount immediately, and lead your horse out to untack him and call the farrier. If you are on a Hack and you are far from home, use your mobile phone to call anybody you know with a horse box to come and pick you up, then phone the farrier. Never continue to ride a horse if it has thrown a shoe, is is most likely to damage the hoof more severly. You need to make sure that the shoe is completely off and that there are no punture wounds on the sole or frog of the foot from the nail. If the shoe is still partially attached you need to completely remove it, which may require a pair of shoe pullers. You should keep a well fitting boot on the hoof to protect the bare foot until the farrier is able to see your horse. If you are riding, walk the horse back to the barn, don't ride.
