ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Farrier

A farrier is like a shoe designer but for horses. Just like how you wear shoes to protect your feet, horses also wear shoes to protect their hooves. The farrier helps to make and fit shoes for horses so that they can walk, run, and do their jobs comfortably without hurting their hooves. They use special tools to shape the shoe and fit it onto the horse’s hoof, making sure it’s a perfect fit. Farriers also take care of other hoof-related issues like trimming the hooves to keep them healthy and preventing infections. Overall, the farrier helps horses to stay healthy and comfortable on their feet!
