Good RELIABLE farriers in Lincoln?

[RonnieHowe]

Hi there

Can anyone recommend a good, reliable farrier in Lincoln?
I have only just moved over this way and had an appointment yesterday with a farrier in who's card I found on the yard noticeboard, but he cancelled on me last minute yesterday pretty annoying seeing as I made arrangements around work and had to get lifts to the yard due to having no car ATM!
So not very impressed and wondered what people's recommendations were?

Thanks x

A RELIABLE farrier? Is that for shoeing your unicorn? Saying that, you probably have greater chance of finding a unicorn...

I use Dan Miller for all ours - he is based in Scopwick outside of Lincoln - he is extremely reliable and I would recommend him to anyone. You can PM me for his number if you want it.

Davide Molinario is fab (Itallian) very punctual, and has done a fab job with my lot, I moved from Surrey a few yrs back and was appalled at the state of the shoeing by the then yard farrier. One of mine went lame within a couple of months and I'm sure it was farrier related. I soon binned him off!!

Davide is a rider as well and really knows his stuff, great with the horses too.

We use Davide, have done for almost 6 years now, sorted out a nasty abcess on one of our horses feet that the vet completely missed whilst on loan....

Helped us with the transition to bare-foot as well with a couple.

In contrast to that I have friends who davide has let down, including the friend who has some if his horses on her land

I use Dan Miller too, very reliable... Also Mark Watson is now this way and he is one of the best...

Ditto, sadly.

Excellent farrier but unreliable and does not return calls, late , cancels last minute and sometimes didn't turn up.. annoying when I have limited time off work..

In contrast I use Richard Hawkins now.. Newark based but travels a bit. Completely reliable, patient with the youngsters and very reasonably priced.
