Product Focus Tools And Equipment

Need some Christmas gift ideas for the farriers in your life? Presents may seem tricky to choose, but the good news is that since so much of their life centres around ensuring the welfare of the horses in their care, you can fairly safely get them anything to do with horses or their trade and they’ll probably be delighted.

While it may only be October, now is the time to start planning if you want to avoid the last minute rush and postage delays, so we’ve put together the below list of recommendations for the best Christmas gifts for your farrier friends. We’ve got everything from big ticket items through to tools and stocking fillers, with options to match every price point, so all you need to do is select your favourite options for the hoofcare professional in your life.

Tools

A farrier can never have too many tools, and our extensive range means you’ll be spoilt for choice. Our entry level tool collection – Edge – makes for great for stocking fillers, while our mid-level Mustad Black range is perfect for placing under the tree. If the farrier in your life enjoys the finer things and only works with the best, we also offer top of the line GDM and Mustad Premium tools to suit their needs.

If you’re unsure what tools will make the best Christmas gift ideas for your farrier friend, we suggest selecting from our top three most popular farrier tool options:

Nippers

A staple in every farrier’s tool kit, nippers are available in 12inch, 14inch and 15inch options. We have nippers in the Edge, Mustad Black, and Mustad Premium collections, and you can learn more about them in this video by Mustad Australia sales team member, Clint Rolfe.

Hammers

Farrier hammers come in two types – fitting/forging hammers, and driving hammers. Premium options are available within the GDM range, with our Mustad Black hammers available for those who want balanced utility. Hammers are available in various weights, so be sure to check out these videos (here and here) from Clint to learn about the different types and their uses.

Removal Tools

Farries use removal tools such as Shoe Pull Offs and Crease Nail Pullers daily, so they’re a great option when hunting for Christmas gift ideas for them. We have a range of brands and options available to suit your budget and needs, and they’re sure to come in handy for the hoofcare professional in your life.

 

Tool Kits

While purchasing tools separately allows for the creation of a custom collection, sometimes buying a pre-made kit simply makes sense. Not only are our farrier tool kits cost effective, but they also ensure that you get everything you need and provide a world of convenience. There are three tool kits to choose from when selecting your Christmas gifts for your farrier friends, with each serving a unique purpose:

Farrier Toolbox Kit

If someone on your Christmas list is brand new to farriery, our Farrier Toolbox Kit is the perfect gift. Inclusive of nearly everything they need to get their business started, this kit represents exceptional value. It’s also a great option for those who live in remote locations and may not have access to hoofcare assistance from a farrier.

Trim Kit

New trimmers will also find significant value in our range of kits, with the Mustad Trim Kit offering the ideal collection of tools for those who focus on trimming and shaping hooves.

Emergency Shoe Removal Kit

Designed for those who are on stations or locations where getting a farrier out on short notice can be incredibly difficult, the Emergency Shoe Removal Kit includes everything necessary to quickly get a partially thrown, loose or damaged shoe off. Arguably an important thing to own for anyone who has shod horses, this kit has everything you need to safely remove a shoe in these situations, which is much better for the health of the hoof if the shoe is removed correctly.

 

Farrier Aprons

Farrier Aprons are always a popular choice of Christmas gift ideas of farriers. Crafted from materials such as leather, cotton and canvas, our farrier aprons provide comfort and protection for the hoofcare professional in your life.

Premium Farrier Aprons

Our top-of-the-line Silverback Chaps apron range offers industry leading core support and premium protection. Available in both unisex and women’s varieties, these aprons have a unique patented design that protects the back during work.

Value Orientated Farrier Aprons

If you’re looking to get an apron that’ll get the job done but need to focus on selecting value friendly Christmas gift ideas, the O’Dwyer Xtra is an excellent choice. At a great price without compromising on protection, this apron is available in both short and long variants.

Ladies Farrier Aprons

Ladies farrier aprons provide tailored comfort and protection that is designed specifically for the female form. As mentioned above, the Silverback Ladies Apron is our premium option, while the Edge Women’s Farrier Apron provides a more cost-effective solution.

 

Hoof Stands

If your farrier friend often has a sore back, a hoof stand is the perfect Christmas gift idea. Used to support the hoof during care and maintenance, the HoofHelper Hoof Stand range literally helps take the load off.

 

Workshop Equipment

Need Christmas gift ideas for a farrier who is just starting out or looking to upgrade their current workshop setup? We stock a wide range of workshop equipment, such as anvils and forges. 

Anvils And Stall Jacks

Our most popular anvil collection is our range of O’Dwyer Anvils. Available in 20kg and 40kg sizes for those who need something portable, this collection also features a 95kg dedicated workshop anvil option.

The lightweight Yoder Stall Jack is another great option for those who want to be able to take their smithing tools out on the road, and you can learn more about the range in this video from Liam Ryan.

Forges

Every workshop needs a good forge, which is why we offer both the single and double burner variants of the Blacksmith Italia forge.

Forging Tools

To complete their workshop setup, your farrier friend will need specialist tools for handmaking and modifying/adapting horseshoes. Mustad stock a range of horseshoe making tools to help farriers get the job done, including forging tongs, hammers such as the GDM Ball Clipping Hammer, Forepunches/Stamps, Creasers/Fullers and pritchels by brands GDM and Mustad.

 

Stocking Fillers

Finally, instead of socks and chocolates, why not consider these Christmas gift ideas for farriers when deciding what to stuff in their stocking.

Rasps And Handles

Rasps are common consumables in farriery, making them the perfect stocking filler. We offer a range of rasps and rasp handles from the top quality Heller Rasps range, so all you need to do is figure out what preferences the hoofcare professional in your life has. If you’re unsure which to select, you can learn more about the range here.

Farrier Knives

At Mustad we offer the best farrier knives from well-known brands such as GDM, Fr Dick and Double S, as well as our signature collection.  All of our farrier knives are made from high quality tool steel, with sharp blades that are long lasting and a pleasure to use, and we even have left-handed options.

Nail Management Devices 

Finally, there’s nothing more annoying than losing your nails while trying to fit a horseshoe. Help the hoofcare professional in your life avoid this by getting them the Edge Wrist Magnet and a Nail Pot – problem solved.
