Featured Video: Stuff Riders Say to Farriers

Farriers are the best. They spend their days traveling from one farm to another, never knowing what surprises might greet them at their next stop. They don’t complain when they have to sidle up to a mud-covered horse, contend with a mouthy pony or struggle with Bertha, the draft horse who doesn’t feel like picking up her feet today. Our dogs love them, they keep our horses sound, and they answer our questions. So, so many questions.



In the latest installment of the “Stuff Riders Say” video series from SmartPak, we get an amusing look at some of the odd questions and bizarre requests that farriers hear every day on the job.
