Farrier recommendations in Kent please?

Depends what/who you like. Some love them and others hate them.

There is:

Steve O'Dell
Mick O'Dell
John Nicholls
Chris Connell

Personally Steve does my boy now and he is going fantastically. Steve has stopped his chronic tripping just by trimming differently (no need for expensive remedial shoes etc). Very happy with him.
 
I don't know if he's quite the right area (possibly more like Tonbridge, Sevenoaks way), but maybe worth a call - John Sterne is fantastic! He has sorted out so many problems at our yard (and a really nice bloke!) :) He is very busy, though!
