Why I Built FarrierHub: A Farrier’s Digital Journey

After 30+ years of shoeing horses, I’ve learned what farriers really need. Not another generic business app, but something built specifically for our unique workflow and challenges.

The Problem with Current Solutions

Most farrier management tools are just generic business apps with a horse theme slapped on. They don’t understand our workflow, our clients’ needs, or the unique challenges we face every day.

  • Data doesn’t follow the horse – When a horse changes owners or barns, the service history gets lost
  • No mobile-first thinking – We work in the field, not at a desk
  • Generic invoicing – Doesn’t understand farrier pricing, services, or payment methods
  • Poor scheduling – Can’t see weeks since last service or group appointments efficiently
  • Privacy concerns – Clients don’t want their business broadcast publicly

The FarrierHub Solution

FarrierHub is built from the ground up for farriers, by farriers. Every feature is designed around our actual workflow and the real problems we face.

Horse-Centric Data Model

The most important innovation: data follows the horse. When a horse changes owners or moves to a new barn, the complete service history travels with it. No more lost records, no more starting over.

Mobile-First Design

Built for farriers on the go. Large touch targets, thumb-friendly navigation, and everything you need accessible with one hand while holding a horse’s leg.

Smart Scheduling

See weeks since last service at a glance. Group appointments by location for efficient routing. Schedule next appointments based on actual service intervals, not arbitrary dates.

Why I Stopped YouTube Monetization

I realized my clients don’t want their business broadcast publicly. FarrierHub respects privacy while providing the digital tools modern farriers need. No more compromising client confidentiality for content creation.

The Future of Farrier Practice

FarrierHub represents the next evolution of farrier practice management. Built by someone who understands the craft, the challenges, and the opportunities. 30+ years of experience, now in your pocket.
