Hoofcare
N R Brown Farriers offer a reliable, efficient and friendly professional service to care for your equine’s feet. We are experienced in caring for horses, ponies and donkeys, shod and unshod, in work and retired.
The Forge, Abergavenny
The Forge is based just north of Abergavenny on the A465 to Hereford. We maintain a relatively small area as this helps to ensure we can provide a good, prompt service to our clients. Our current area stretches from Allensmore to the north to Goytre to the south and from Crickhowell to the west and to Trellech to the east. We do travel outside these areas but travel will be quoted for on an individual basis.
Our clients currently participate in racing, three day eventing, showjumping, dressage, showing, Pony Club and Riding Club activities, hunting, endurance, driving, mounted games and polocrosse. We care for broodmares and youngstock, companion and leisure horses.
Veterinary Referral
For a long time Nigel has worked closely with the local veterinary surgeons providing remedial and therapeutic shoeing for specific problems. A good working relationship between a veterinary surgeon and farrier, based on mutual respect and trust, is essential and extremely beneficial to the well-being of the horse – by working together we can ensure the most successful outcome. We are delighted to say we work on a regular basis with Lee Paul, B&W Equine, Abbey Vets, Three Counties Equine Hospital and Belmont Vets.
Freelance Farriers
To ensure continuity of service we may, from time to time, use freelance farriers. This may be due to illness or injury, holiday or during particularly busy times. The two freelance farriers we currently use are known to our clients and have worked with us for a long time. The freelance farrier will work alongside Nigel, unless providing emergency cover if Nigel is away.
