    Hi,

    My parents and their friends are having huge problems at the moment trying to get a farrier in Edenderry(On the boarder of Kildare/Offaly)

    We ourselves have 2 donkeys, but our neighbours in the area also have donkeys as well as my mums friends in the area who have horses and everyone is having trouble getting a farrier.

    Does anybody have any suggestions of what I could do? My mum loves Polly and Snowball but if we cant find something soon she is considering taking to the donkey santcuary so any help is much appreciated!

    OK OP, why are you having such a hard time to find a farrier? I can't imagine their is a major shortage of farriers. Check some of the online directories/yellow pages etc.

    Thank You, Thats a start at least.

    Not being horse people, just having a few donkeys isnt very appealing for a farrier so even when we find one it takes months before he gets out to do them.

    We have tried the local SPCA but the farrier they use is too busy as is any of the farriers from the riding schools around. And I actually emailed info@irishfarrieryauthority.com before I thought of going on here.

    One of my best friends used to do it for us for years but now he has moved away and doesnt get much time when he does come back this way.

    That link above looks great though, Ill see how that works out and let you know.

    Thanks again.
