ABOUT

I am an Associate of the Worshipful Company of Farriers of London (AWCF). The AWCF is the hardest exam of practical Farriery in the world and is based around Therapeutic work. I'm the first Australian to achieve this and am one of only 300 in the world. I also have a Bachelor of Informatics (B Inf) majoring in Software Engineering. I'm accredited with the Queensland Government and an active member of the Professional Farriers and Blacksmiths Association of Queensland (www.pfbaq.org.au). Education is very important to me and I continually learn new techniques from respected farriers from Australia and overseas by attending clinics and competitions. I work mainly in the Brisbane suburb of Hendra, however I now take clients in the Samford Valley area. If you are in an area that I don't service I'm sure I can recommend another farrier who does. I treat all horses under my care with the same attention, whether they are a million dollar racehorse or a family pet. I look forward to helping you with your horse

The BEGINNINGS WERE HUMBLE

I learnt my trade from two of the best farriers of their time. Initially I spent three years under Andrew Fraser in Toowoomba and all the basic skills I learnt that form the basis of how I approach shoeing horses is attributed to him and I am forever in his debt. Eventually, I made my way to Brisbane and was lucky enough to be able to work under Patrick Burns at Deagon. Considered one of the best racehorse farriers of his era, the skills I learnt from Pat have proved invaluable in  my evolution as a farrier.

Since that time I have learnt from many of Australia and New Zealand's best farriers through attending clinics and competitions.
