I visited with Doug and Jacob Butler of Butler Professional Farrier School in Crawford, Nebraska, earlier this year for an article in Tri-State Livestock New’s Horse Round-Up 2017. Read the story here. The Butler Family has an incredible amount of knowledge to share, and Jacob has composed a three-part series for Cavvy Savvy.
After Appointment
The real improvement for a horse’s behavior is done before and after each appointment. Farriers recognize if a horse has been worked or handled since the last appointment.
Evaluation between farrier and owner discussing what went well during the appointment and a possible assignment that may improve the behavior of the horse for the next time is desirable. Farriers appreciate owner involvement in creating a safe situation for all.
Jacob Butler, at left in the photo in the red sweatshirt, is a Certified Journeyman Farrier and an Associate of the Worshipful Company of Farriers. He is the Director and an instructor at Butler Professional Farrier School LLC, located near Chadron, NE.
