Matthew Hawes AWCF Farrier

I have always been around horses! I decided I would be a Farrier aged 11
At 21 I was qualified. I had been lucky enough to be trained by a very eminent farrier David Gulley FWCF.
I then moved to Norfolk from Leicestershire in 1989 to setup my own business .
I have experience of shoeing all types of horses and ponies in all sports be it eventing, show jumping, hunting, dressage and just about anything else especially pleasure riding.
I have shod horses at every level of competition apart from Olympic although I have shod for two clients that were past Olympians.!
I regularly attend seminars and demonstrations in all aspects of farriery and am keen to keep abreast of new technology.
I have always worked alongside veterinarians as a remedial farrier and continue to do so.
As I write this in June of 2016 I am currently taking on extra clients something I haven't done for some time.
Thanks for your interest
Matt
