About Us

     David Gill is a working farrier with over thirty years of practical experience.
While working with master farrier Sandy Duff FWCF he became a registered farrier in 1975 and gained his associateship in 1977. Since then he has continued to run his own private practice.
     David’s passion and interest in his profession has been a constant. While continuing to expand his own knowledge base, he has also been a regular contributor to the farrier’s trade magazine FORGE, written a column for Equestrian Life and given numerous talks to students and interested horse-owners. In 2001, he presented his thoughts and observations to veterinarians and farriers alike at the 1st UK FARRIERY CONVENTION and in 2002 was presented with an award from the Worshipful Company of Farriers for the best farriery article to appear in FORGE.

Back of the beating hammer by which the steel is wrought,
Back of the workshops clamour, the seeker may find a thought:
The thought that is ever master of iron and steam and steel,
That rises above disaster and tramples it under heel.

Back of them stands the schemer – the Thinker – who drives things through,
Back of the job the Dreamer who’s making the dream come true.
