Do you ever wish your farrier tools would last just a little bit longer?   Or maybe that you had a few back up tools just in case one broke while you were under a horse? 

Farrier Strong

    Umm, yes.  Especially, if you are like a lot of the professional farriers who have stopped into our shop. So we went looking for a way to make a value line of horseshoeing tools better.

    Mike has spent several months developing a quality line of farrier tools that will last 3 times longer than similar tools because of Farrier Strong's proprietary titanium coating that PREVENTS RUSTING.

 Farrier Strong's nippers, pull-offs, crease nail pullers, clinchers, hoof testers, and farrier aprons have been out in the field now since July and have been well received.

    Sure, if you want, you can spend 2 or 3 times more for your tools however with our Farrier Strong brand of value tools, it's just not necessary any more. The nippers are smooth acting with a nice balance. You'll find the head of the nail puller's is designed thick enough to grab the nail so it doesn't break on you. Plus, our pull offs double as a shoe spreader.

AND, our Farrier Strong Aprons... are flying out the door!

Let's look at why:
It's hot here, and no one wants to wear a heavy apron. These were designed out of a super light weight Cordura material.
Three layers of material are used so they are nice and sturdy horseshoeing aprons with reinforced stitching and leather thigh patches.
They even include 2 pockets for hoof knives, plus a magnet so your nails are right there where you need them.
We can ship one out to you in black, camel, grey, red or navy blue.
A great fit running at 30 inches in length, and the quick release waist belt is adjustable, so one size works for everyone.
