A farrier is a person who specializes in putting horseshoes on horses, mules, donkeys and oxen.

A blacksmith is experienced in all forms of iron working. In earlier days, he provided all the nails, hinges, plows, tools and other hardware that was needed in his village, and repaired them when needed. He would also shoe horses with horse shoes that he made himself.

Nowadays, farriers are often referred to as blacksmiths.
