Blacksmith Buddy Blacksmith Buddy is the world's best farrier and veterinarian training device for practicing the shoeing of horses.

The World’s First Anatomically Correct Farrier Training Device
The farrier (also known as a horseshoer, blacksmith or smithy) ensures the health of the horse by protecting its feet. An expertly crafted and fitted horseshoe will dramatically improve the health, happiness, locomotion and performance of a horse while better protecting the rider from spills. BLACKSMITH BUDDY creates an authentic shoeing experience -- without subjecting a live horse to the risk of injury -- without subjecting a person to train on a cadaver leg!

Recently, I competed at Thunderbird Show Park in Langley, BC with my mare, Fire. It’s by far the biggest show we have done to date and leading up to it I was as excited as I was nervous.

Your horse is unique, and her workout should be as well. Here's an expert trainer's thoughts on how to pick the best speed when under the saddle.

If your horse is suffering from persistent lameness or soundness issues, it may be time to talk to your farrier about therapeutic horseshoes.

If you’re lucky, you and your horse see your farrier once every six weeks or so, and these visits involve a simple trim or standard shoeing.

A dry summer can mean drastic hay shortages in the winter.

This past summer had no shortage of sunny, dry days. While the weather may have been ideal for the show season, or for trail riding with your favourite horse, 2018 was not a great summer for growing hay in Ontario and parts of Quebec. With only around half the normal days of rain between May and Aug...
