There was a time when the jobs of a blacksmith and farrier were considered same. But today, farriers are specialised in shoeing and hoof trimming. There are three major styles of trimming - traditional flat trimming, the 4 point trim, and natural balance. Usually trimming of each hoof is necessary because it helps in gaining proper orientation to ground. However, there some other factors for which shoeing of horse is required. These are huge work load, constant working on abrasive footing, and requirement of additional traction or due to occurrence of some pathological changes of the foot.
