Statement
The Worshipful Company of Farriers is disappointed at the statement released on 5th October 2023 by the Farriers Registration Council on their website concerning withdrawal of approval under s11 of the Farriers (Registration) Act 1975 and it is working hard to rectify the situation.
The Company recognises the impact this will have on farriery students, Approved Training Farriers and the colleges delivering farriery apprenticeship training and every effort will be made to mitigate these impacts.
The Worshipful Company of Farriers remains committed to the welfare of the horse and to its duty of promoting, encouraging and advancing the art and science of farriery and education as it has done over the centuries.
