Need a really good farrier Mansfield/Chesterfield area

[ElleSkywalker]

As title, my current farrier did check 'find a farrier' for me bit didn't recognise any names

Needs to be patient as have some baby horses and also a good remedial farrier as have a few with previous problems that need to be managed.

Don't mind if they are expensive as long as they are good :biggrin3:

Choc horseshoes for all

I use Scott Bates at Crich. He does remedial work.

Andrew Knight is great. He's a lovely chap and very good with young horses as he breeds and shows himself. We used to use Scott Bates, who is also very good at what he does.

We use Craig Rodgers and have used Scott Bates in the past.

Odd question but is Andrew Knights nickname Tank? Think I might have used him years ago when he was an apprentice :biggrin3:

Thanks for all the suggestions so far

I would highly recommend him too. He was brilliant with my difficult to shoe youngster, totally turned her around and supportive when I took her barefoot too. Really can't speak highly enough of him and neither could my vet.

Can anyone PM me a number for Scott Bates? Have found a Michael Scott Bates on find a farrier but not sure if he is the right one?
