horseshoer
Equine foot worker
A horseshoer is a person who fits and nails horseshoes to horses' hooves.
The term is interchangeable with farrier, though farrier is more common in professional contexts.
Horseshoeing requires knowledge of equine anatomy and metalworking: The horseshoer trimmed the hoof before fitting the new shoe.
