Etymology

The term 'shoeing' comes from the Old English word 'scoe', which means 'shoe'. The practice of shoeing horses dates back thousands of years, with evidence of horses wearing protective footwear found in archaeological sites. Initially, shoes were made of organic materials such as leather and later evolved to metal to provide more durability and protection. The art and craft of shoeing have been refined over the centuries, leading to specialized practices and techniques that cater to the specific needs of different horse breeds and activities. Farriers, skilled tradespeople, have developed methods to not only shoe horses but also to care for their hooves, emphasizing the health and well-being of the animal.
