English Experienced Farrier Needed In New Zealand!!!!

[Bella pony]

HELP!
Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum so please excuse any errors to my post.
I moved to New Zealand from Kent nearly 6 years ago to the north of the North Island. Since moving here I have been fortunate enough to have an experienced UK qualified farrier look after my horses, however he just retired and now I have know one to shoe or look after my horses feet.
Ill explain briefly about the set up re: farriers in New Zealand.....basically any tom, dick or harry can call themselves a farrier and go out and work on horses feet without any formal qualifications. As a result their a lot of badly shod and lame horses. Often these Hill Billy guys will say they have been doing the job for years (which they often have).....but have been doing it badly or incorrectly!!!
Ive checked on the New Zealand immigration and UK Farriers are on the shortage list, which means getting a visa to move here is much much easier. Anyhow I am hoping that some farrier is going to read this and been keen to move to this beautiful country as I have full cliental list waiting for them!!!
If you look up 'Bay of Islands' in New Zealand that is where we need you most!!!
Fingers Crossed!!!

My partner is an English farrier and is looking at going to New Zealand. I know this post is quite old but worth a try (it's charlie white farrier on Facebook) if your still looking x
