02 The farrier

Jan-Niclas Kors.

As a state-certified farrier, I combine traditional craftsmanship with current knowledge of equine biomechanics. Keeping your horse healthy comes first.

Through ongoing training and close contact with vets and osteopaths, I offer solutions that go far beyond simply nailing on a shoe.

Mein Springpferd laeuft seit dem ersten Termin merklich runder. Jan-Niclas nimmt sich Zeit und erklaert jeden Schritt.

Nach der Rehe-Diagnose war ich verunsichert. Der Beschlag wurde eng mit meiner Tieraerztin abgestimmt, heute steht mein Wallach wieder stabil.

05 FAQ

What you should know before the first appointment.

Question not answered? Send me a short email.

How far do you travel for an appointment? add

My regular service area covers about 150 km around Hövelhof. For group appointments with several horses I travel further, across Germany on request and abroad by plane. What matters is the number of horses, not the distance.

How often should a horse be shod? add

The usual interval is 6 to 8 weeks. Depending on hoof growth, workload and ground conditions, the interval can vary slightly.

Do you work with my vet? add

Yes. For orthopaedic cases, coordinating with the treating vet is standard. Findings and X-rays help me plan the right shoeing.

Do you shoe young horses for the first time? add

Gladly. At the first appointment in particular, I take extra time so the horse can build trust. Calm matters more than speed.

How do I book an appointment? add

The easiest way is by email to hufbeschlagkors@gmail.com, with your location, the number of horses and your preferred time frame. By phone on +49 160 94942545, in German.

Can I get in touch in English? add

Yes, by email. Phone calls are in German, so for enquiries in English please write to hufbeschlagkors@gmail.com.
