MY STORY
Smoking Steel Shoe Co was founded by Gavin Halls Dip WCF on the belief that all horses deserve the best quality care and attention.
I have been providing farrier services since becoming qualified in 2001.
I served my apprenticeship under the guidance of my ATF (Approved Training Farrier), John Goode RSS, one of Newmarket's leading farriers at the time and former farrier to Shergar. His team comprised of five other experienced farriers who worked at champion trainer, Sir Michael Stoute’s, yard in Newmarket.
As a team we regularly won the Victory Racing Plates Cup, for shoeing the most Group 1 winners in the UK annually.
Spending my apprenticeship gaining knowledge from some of the best vet's, farriers and trainers in the equine industry gave me the experience, knowledge and confidence to handle any farrier job.
