Ben began his farriery career in 1999, training under Haydn Price and D.P. Smith. He qualified in 2003 and quickly built a reputation for his work with performance and remedial shoeing. In 2016, he earned his Associate qualification (AWCF), and a year later was named the 77th Master Farrier in the UK by the Worshipful Company of Farriers.

Based in North Oxfordshire, Ben runs a busy farriery practice serving clients from leisure horses to Olympic athletes. His team works closely with vets and other professionals to support each horse’s soundness and performance.

Ben was a lead farrier at London 2012 and Rio 2016, Head Farrier at Tokyo 2020, and most recently team farrier for Sweden at Paris 2024. He also supports the British Equestrian Federation’s talent pathway and has worked at major events worldwide.

A passionate educator, Ben regularly teaches farriers, vets, physios, and other equestrian professionals across the UK and internationally. He recently completed his term as President of the British Farriers and Blacksmiths Association.

Wayne gained the DipWCF with honours in 1988 and established his own farriery practice in Settle, North Yorkshire, in 1994. He built a strong reputation for his work with lame horses and became a referral farrier for a local veterinary practice.

He gained his AWCF in 2001 and became an approved training farrier in 1997. In 2004, Wayne joined the teaching team at Myerscough College and progressed to Head Farriery Tutor by 2006.
