What is the industry trend of a farrier?

Answer 1

Usually the farrier will be busy in the summer months because of the weather. In the winter months it slows a lot but does not fall off altogether because most owners maintain monthly service.

Answer 2

It is supposed to steadily increase over the next 10 years.

Though it's hard to say specifically what the job outlook is, a look at horse industry statistics can be helpful. There are more than 9 million horses and approximately 25,000 farriers in the U.S., which is about 3.5% of the total population of people working in the horse industry. There are about 10 times more farriers in the U.S. than the UK because farriery is regulated in the UK. So though there are a lot of farriers in the U.S. skilled farriers will always be in high demand.
