Good farrier in Bristol area - barefoot friendly

[equa39]

As the title really - can anyone recommend a barefoot friendly farrier in the Bristol area? Preferably North Bristol / South Glouc but anywhere if they're ok to come out that way. Getting a new TB ex-racer, unshod & let down over summer and i want to bring him back into work once he arrives but keep him barefoot - any help / recommendations / advice greatly appreciated......but please be nice

I can recommend Sally Bell or Kate George who are both equine podiatrists registered with the equine podiatry association. You can find their details on www.epauk.org. Kate is a final year student and Sally has been qualified for years!

Jason Baggs is absolutely fab, and very patient. Shoes our whole yard. Most of them are barefoot!
