Why do they call a person who puts shoes on a horse a farrier?

Originally this term literally meant "horse doctor" but the meaning has changed so that now it means one who shoes horses.
The origin of the term may go back to the time of William the Conqueror who instructed one Henry de Farrariis to care for his horses.
Other conjecture has it that may have come from the Latin term Faber ferrarius (Faber meaning craftsman and ferrarius meaning metal), together literally means blacksmith.
