Looking for a remedial farrier

[holeymoley]

As the title suggests. Pony coming out of long episode of chronic laminitis with a lot of rotation. Been corrected to 0• by fabulous vet farrier who unfortunately is retired and will only do vet cases, so on the look out for someone that is experienced in remedial shoeing. Horse is sound and walking out, I just don’t want any imbalances with shoeing to mess us up. I’ve looked at the registry and have 1 in mind to message but just thought I’d ask on here too. Glasgow/Stirlingshire area.

Jim Ferrie or is he the one you have used? If not his brother Alan or David Shearer.

Yeah Jim is who has sorted my guy out. Did think of David shearer or there’s Stephen Newman who has a fwcf.

I understand Mark Osborne undertakes remedial work?

I haven't used him for remedial but when I took on a neglected shod horse I used Mark and he did a cracking job. I used him to trim my own barefoot horses when I was in his catchment area too and he done a good job

Not heard of Mark so it may be I’m not in his area but will have a check. Jim has been shoeing him but now lives too far away and only does vet cases, Alan is down in Ayr so doubt he’d come up for 1. A friend at another yard uses Stephen so may give him a call and see what he thinks.

Mark is based in Stirlingshire just south of Stirling so worth a phone call.

Brian Alexander or Sandy Beveridge- he is retired but does some remedial work.
