Farriers are responsible for the maintenance and care of equine feet, and are required to have a thorough understanding of all aspects of equine hoof care across equine disciplines including analysis of gait and advice on equine welfare options. Farriery is a regulated profession and all farriers must register with the Farriers Registration Council.

To support the preparation for End-Point Assessment (EPA), we provide:

  • Handbooks for training providers, employers and apprentices that cover assessment methods, preparation and requirements checklists, advice and what to expect on assessment day.

  • Sample assessments

  • A mandatory EPA planning meeting
