    Why It Matters to Choose a Certified Journeyman Farrier 

    Our Chief of Farrier Services and Certified Journeyman Farrier Dan Martzall, joined New Bolton Center in September 2025.

    Horses deserves the best care possible. By working with a Certified Journeyman Farrier, you are investing in their comfort, performance, and long-term well-being.

    The Certified Journeyman Farrier is the highest level of certification awarded by the American Farrier’s Association. Earning it requires years of hands-on practice, a deep knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics, and a commitment to mastering both traditional and modern farriery techniques. To achieve this designation, a farrier must pass a series of written, practical, and forging exams that prove not only technical skill, but also the ability to solve complex hoof-care challenges.
