Martha Stewart Salutes Her Farrier!
Kudos to stylemaker/domestic diva/media mogul Martha Stewart for a photo feature on her blog today that salutes farrier Linda Friedman, who cares for the hooves of Ms. Stewart's Friesian horses at her new farm outside New York City.Click here to view the blog story, which shows a step-by-step preparation of a winter shoe for one of the horses.
Linda is a caring professional whose client list includes some very high-profile horses and horseowners. She is a great ambassador for the farrier profession. Like so many farriers, Linda cares deeply about the safety and well-being of the horses in her care. An ice storm in New York this week made winter shoes "a must".
Don't you wonder what the interview process was like to be selected as Martha Stewart's farrier!
And notice the lovely white beadboard paneling (and heating ducts) in the barn aisle! The stable, by the way, has its own kitchen and is big enough to sport a 17-foot long mahogany dining table, which is where Martha Stewart serves Thanksgiving dinner. It looks like you could eat off the aisle pavers!

I own my Friesian from Holland, Troubadour, Tux for short. He is a schoolmaster and trained to I1 in dressage. Tux has ringbone in his front right and my farrier has done the most wonderful job. Along with my vet who is now giving him arthritic medicine for dogs. He has been training every day and has not taken a bad step. Our farriers are the most important people.
To all Friesians and their big feet. I love my farrier keeping Tux sound with his arterial ringbone. He is flown in from Florida and worth every penny.
Those aren't heating ducts, they're drains...most horse barns have them!
