Why Credentials Matter in Farrier Work
When it comes to hoof care, experience and training are not optional—they are essential. A horse’s hooves directly impact soundness, balance, and overall health. Choosing a farrier with professional credentials ensures your horse receives the highest standard of care. At Morrison’s Farrier & Barefoot Trim Service, we bring over 32 years of field experience combined with
certification as a master farrier and advanced training in equine podiatry.
Credentials signify more than just time in the trade. They represent dedication to continued learning, proven technical skill, and a commitment to excellence. For horse owners in Crossville and across eastern Tennessee, our qualifications provide confidence that every trim, shoe, and treatment is backed by both knowledge and practice.
Certified Master Farrier Status
The title of
certified master farrier is earned through rigorous testing, evaluation, and demonstration of skill. It reflects mastery in both traditional farrier science and advanced hoof care techniques. This certification is recognized throughout the equine industry as a standard of excellence.
As a master farrier, we provide services that extend far beyond routine shoeing. Our expertise includes:
- Corrective and therapeutic applications for laminitis, navicular, and conformation issues.
- Advanced shoeing techniques using steel, aluminum, composite, and glue-on options.
- Reconstruction and repair methods for damaged hooves, quarter cracks, and white line disease.
- Performance horse applications tailored to disciplines such as jumping, reining, barrel racing, and dressage.
Ongoing Professional Development
Farriery is a constantly evolving trade. Materials, tools, and techniques continue to advance, offering new solutions for hoof problems. At Morrison’s Farrier & Barefoot Trim Service, we stay current through workshops, clinics, and continuing education courses. By combining traditional craftsmanship with modern science, we provide our clients with the best of both worlds.
This commitment to ongoing learning ensures that horses under our care benefit from innovations such as improved composite shoes, advanced adhesives, and cutting-edge hoof support products.
Experience That Sets Us Apart
While credentials confirm technical skill, experience proves it in practice. With over three decades of hands-on service, we have worked with thousands of horses across Tennessee. This experience includes:
- Family horses needing safe, reliable barefoot trims.
- Performance athletes requiring precise, lightweight shoeing for maximum stride.
- Rehabilitation cases recovering from founder, white line disease, and other severe hoof challenges.
- Horses in all life stages, from foals learning to stand for their first trim to seniors needing extra patience and comfort.
Each horse teaches something new, and we bring that accumulated knowledge to every barn we visit.
