Hi my names Tommie I’m a qualified and registered Farrier I pride myself on punctuality and professionalism, I am located in the forever expanding town of Rugby  which can be found in the county of Warwickshire on the boarders of Northamptonshire and Leicestershire.
I first recognised this might be the career path for me when I was a boy watching my mother’s Farrier shoe her horse and from that day I was immediately hooked as it was a very unique trade and was unlike anything I had seen before!
Up on leaving school in 2009 I enrolled myself on to a pre Farrier course at Morton Morel College where I gained the relevant qualifications to enable me to start on the Farrier apprenticeship, which I did. My apprenticeship led me down an alternative path to my original class mates however this  has been a key benefit to my training enabling me to learn different techniques, styles and methods to put into practice on a far wider range of working horses and disciplines, all of this has made me into a far more well rounded Farrier today. In the 7 years I have been practicing Farriery I’ve worked on shires to Shetlands and all in between. 
 I began my apprenticeship in Kenilworth with a Farrier and now friend Mr. Gary Oliver DipWCF which is where I ended but two other massive influences on my training and journey on becoming a Farrier were Mr. Steven Beane DipWCF, AWCF (Northallerton, North Yorkshire)
 Mr. Luke Silcock DipWCF, AWCF(Newbury, Berkshire)
Mid 2017 I moved back to Rugby and Rugby Farrier was born.

My aim as a Farrier is to facilitate and help the equine in its needs and requirements via the manipulation of the hoof capsule whilst keeping the welfare of the horse at the highest of importance.
