Farriery, the ancient knowledge of iron and horses, is undergoing one of the most far-reaching changes in its long history.

Working with new materials and techniques, farriers today are achieving unprecedented precision and control, vastly increasing their contribution to the performance and health of horses.

At the same time, advances in veterinary sciences have encouraged intensive research into the treatment of laminitis, navicular syndrome and other lamenesses. These phenomena are now better understood, and the management of horses suffering from these disorders has today become a highly focused science in which farriery plays a predominant role.

Bernard Duvernay successfully introduces horse owners into the performance-enhancing possibilities of the new farriery.

His aim is to create the individual and collective environment that enable horses to give of their best. That can mean pin-pointing latent problems, designing corrective therapy, co-ordinating vet and farrier for quick recovery and introducing new methods in horse hoof-care.

At the forefront of the latest developments in farriery and with a long experience in the care of performance horses, Bernard Duvernay understands the needs of those who keep horses for pleasure and profit.
