Advanced farriery knowledge

Sarah Logie FWCFSarah served her apprenticeship in the Scottish highlands with Robin Pape and made history in 2006 by being the first ever female to qualify with honours. During the following year she worked abroad in the USA and New Zealand. In 2007 she set up S. Logie Farriery and furthered her experience by taking time away to work with other highly qualified farriers. Gaining knowledge in areas of farriery applications less commonly occurring in the highlands, she then went on to sit the Associate exam in 2012, passing with Distinction. As a result of seeing an increase in environmental related foot infections particularly seedy toe she embarked upon the Fellowship exam with an article published on the classification of types of seedy toe, then a thesis looking at the treatment of structural seedy toe by medication and filling. She successfully passed the exam in May 2017 and became one of only two women to hold the qualification. She has presented her thesis and her methods at some of the largest farrier events in Britain and it has been warmly received. She continues her work and has gathered further case studies that add to her initial Fellowship work. As part of the Farriery Tuition group set up by Jay Tovey FWCF she offers online tutoring for farriers looking to sit their higher exams. The theory exam preparation works well online and there is a consistent uptake by farriers from around the world. www. sarahlogiefwcf. com
