Where to get a farriery kit?

[kit279]

I'd quite like to get a farriery kit to keep on standby for when the horses manage to partially get a shoe off or when one is coming loose so I don't have to improvise.

Can anyone recommend where I could get one or which component parts would be most useful? I probably would want to have a buffer, shoe puller and nail puller but anything else?

Don't buy a cheap one they're useless - our farrier gave us an old rasp and gave us the farrier supplies website better quality but not cheap - most stuff from USA these days

Dave Wilson equestrian [25% off], I have the full kit and just recently topped up with a double ended rasp [I am now barefoot], which is easier to a woman to deal with.

You also need a hammer:

I use Atlantic Equine, but they do tend to tailor for bulk with things like rasps, so I'd try your farrier first.

I asked my farrier about this when Winnie went through a stage of half pulling off a shoe about every 3 weeks! His advice was to avoid the cheap stuff because it's crap, but suggesting popping round to the forge to ask for their old tools, as they buy the quality (expensive) ones but then replace them regularly as they need them to be in good condition to use everyday. That would do fine for emergencies, is cheaper, and you get quality stuff!
