About Us

Who are they, and what do they do?

   South Carolina Farriers’ Association, (S.C.F.A.) is a group of farriers dedicated primarily to the education of all farriers.

   We are a state chapter of the A.F.A. (American Farriers’ Association). The AFA is recognized internationally for their high standards in the farrier industry. They set the standards for certification and carry out the task of testing individuals for this. Education and research are two of the primary functions of the AFA. For more information about the AFA, look them up on the internet at Americanfarriers.com

   We challenge and encourage every horseshoer in our state to begin the process of becoming certified. Join the association; get involved in forging a higher standard of living for yourself by becoming a great craftsman/artist. In South Carolina, we have some of the finest Journeyman/Master farriers who are willing to share their knowledge with young men and women who are willing to work to make these skills materialize in themselves. The association can and will make certification testing available.

   AFA certification is not just about taking a test. It is a learning process. The skill level required to pass basic certification is very high. There are two levels above that which one can achieve as well. The time and dedication put forth will be worth it in pride and the ability to handle any shoeing issue.

   Equestrians, if you employ AFA certified farriers you have helped yourself, your horse and the entire horse industry. As you know, No foot, No horse!
