South Okanagan Farriers

Post by twobits »

Does anyone know of a good Farrier in the South Okanagan. My daughter is looking for one here, and my sister is looking for one closer to Oliver. Much appreciated.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Bah. City folk. One who trims hoofs and shoes horses.

Alain Trottier in Oliver. Not sure of his phone number, but he's a great ferrier.

Do ferriers trap ferrets?

You are right except a Ferrier puts new slippers on Ferries.

I'm pretty sure twobits meant Farrier.

Farrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farrier
A farrier is a specialist in equine hoof care, including the trimming and balancing of horses' hooves and the placing of shoes on their hooves, if necessary.

Phone Erin McQueen in West Kelowna under Stuart McQueen on Emerald Rd. She's a farrier and really good, she will know of someone in your area. You can phone the McRae's at the D Bar K ranch in Oliver. Ken junior or Ken senior can help you out.

My Neighbour here in Penticton is a Farrier. You can get hold of him (Mark), via Nickers Saddlery on Warren, in the little strip Mall.
