As of recent estimates, there are approximately 40,000 to 50,000 farriers in the United States. This number can vary based on factors such as demand for equine services and regional differences in the horse population. Farriers are skilled tradespeople who specialize in the care of horses' hooves, including shoeing and hoof maintenance. The profession requires training and often certification to ensure the health and well-being of the horses they serve.
