Does anyone know of British farriers in France? I have asked this before.

I am currently on my fourth farrier in 6 years!!! Every time he pares the feet on my three year old she is lame for about 10days. Other English friends have the same problem.

All my horses are starting to look low at heel.

I am in Maine et Loire so looking for a farrier who visits Normandy - Saumur area.
 
Sorry, I don't know of any British farriers based in France but my farrier and a colleague go over to shoe there regularly - they might be able to help you:

Clive Rainger 07884 236892 or Tom Halpin 07815 751385

Thank you I will give them both a ring.
 
Think Pierre Monribot may do some shoeing in France? Number should be on registered farrier database, failing that PM me and I will send it to you :-)
 
We have one. But he's too far away from you. Next time I have him round I'll ask him if he knows of any friends or colleagues in your area. He regularly travels to the UK for his farrier supplies, passing by your way. If he's interested I will PM you.
 
No personal recommendation but a friend told me of Tim Godfrey who spends 3/4 of his time in France in Vienne (les Serailleres south of Poitiers) so might well travel up to you.
Call 0844 284 9341 or his partner on 0788 0534427.
Good farrier!

I don't think it's a good idea posting someone personal details on an open forum without their permission. May be you should have PM'd the OP.
