Biography of a Farrier

Geoff Morrison is a classically trained farrier.  Full-time since 2008, he uses the finest professional tools and equipment in his multidisciplinary practice.  He has clients in North Carolina’s Piedmont region and travels on occasion throughout the state to service his diverse client base.

As an engineer educator and life-long equine enthusiast, his career has evolved from rider to farrier, a role he views as a front line health care provider.  His work is multidisciplinary from dressage, hunters, three day eventers to barrel racers, endurance horses, walking horses, drafts and trail horses.  Each discipline offers unique learning opportunities that a single discipline farrier would not encounter.  He is a frequent writer with articles published in both the North Carolina Horseshoer’s Association Journal and the “Professional Farrier” magazine. 

His work reveals a traditionalist view combined with the technical accuracy of a knowledgeable horseman.  His style is one of fierce pragmatism and a close scrutiny of new products and theories.  “My job depends very heavily on the ability to discern fad and gimmicks from genuine technological advances in the science of equine podiatry.”   Geoff has a solid reputation for endurance horses and eventers.  Many clients also trust his capabilities in therapeutic treatment of horses suffering with lameness.   He feels his close relationship with these truly majestic animals inspires him to the highest levels of professional achievement.
