| Connor Sloman started his Farrier career in 2001 when he began working and apprenticing under his father, a highly skilled and experienced journeyman farrier. Connor’s passion and dedication to the craft were evident from the very beginning, as he learned the ropes and honed his skills under his father’s guidance. As the years went by, Connor’s expertise grew, and he eventually took on the leadership responsibilities of running Equiterra Farrier Services.
Since taking over the business, Connor has dedicated himself to continued learning and seeking ways to improve his knowledge and techniques. He recognizes the importance of staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in the field of horseshoeing, as it enables him to provide exceptional care for his clients’ beloved horses. Connor is a member of many hoof care organizations such as the International Association of Professional Farriers (IAPF), Western Canadian Farriers Association (WCFA), American Farrier’s Association (AFA), and National Alliance of Equine Practitioners (NAEP). Connor’s commitment to ongoing education is reflected in his attendance at various conferences and summits dedicated to the art and science of hoof care. In 2019, 2020 and 2023, he had the opportunity to participate in the highly regarded American Farrier’s Journal Annual International Hoof Care Summit in Cincinnati, Ohio. This prestigious event has not only exposed him to cutting-edge research and practices, but also provided a platform for networking with fellow farriers, veterinarians, and industry experts. One noteworthy achievement for Connor was being invited, alongside Lance, to participate in the AFJ 2020 Hunter/Jumper Performance Horse Hoof-Care Classroom. This particular event allowed him to showcase his expertise and interact with professionals in the specialized field of hunter/jumper performance horses. Over the years Connor has taken immense pride in being able to contribute both his knowledge and skills, benefitting the equine community at Spruce Meadows, a place where he has been well-known and respected for over 20 years. Connor’s journey as a farrier has been defined by his commitment to continuous improvement and providing exceptional care to his clients’ horses. Whether he is working on a competitive jumper or a beloved backyard companion, Connor’s unwavering dedication and vast experience make him an invaluable asset to the Equiterra Farrier Services team. |
