farrinarian
far·ri·nar·i·an \ˌfer-ə-ˈner-ē-ən\

noun

A rare professional who somehow manages to be both a veterinarian and a farrier—basically the unicorn of the horse world.

“Call the farrinarian; he can fix the hoof and the horse attached to it.”

Informal: An equine specialist whose toolbox includes X-rays, hoof nippers, chiropractic tricks, and just enough duct tape to scare a Thoroughbred.

adjective

Describing an approach to horse care that merges medical science with the black-art of hoof wizardry.

“Her farrinarian solution involved equal parts science, sweat, and rasp.”

verb (farrinarianed; farrinarianing)

To diagnose, treat, and shoe a horse in one visit, usually leaving both the horse and owner wondering how one person knew how to do all that.

“The gelding was farrinarianed back into the show ring by Dr. Loe.”

Etymology
Blend of farrier + veterinarian; coined to describe equine overachievers who didn’t get the memo that you’re only supposed to master one impossible profession.

At Firewater Equine, we are often trusted with horses whose legacies shape the future of the industry. This mare, who passed at 37 years old just two days ago, produced babies and grandbabies now in the Hall of Fame. Ensuring her comfort and mobility in her later years was an honor, and it reflects the standard of care we bring to every patient.

It’s the smallest details that often tell the biggest stories. Dr. Loe’s training as both a veterinarian and farrier, along with his experience teaching at the collegiate level, gives him the ability to catch what others might overlook — and that can make all the difference in a horse’s health and performance.

Balanced hooves are the foundation of a sound horse, and Dr. Loe has built a career on keeping that foundation strong. His mix of hands-on expertise and academic instruction means the horses he works on — and the students he teaches — benefit from the best of both worlds.

Not all of our four-legged friends wear horseshoes. 🐴➡️🐾
These two patients reminded us that good care comes in all sizes, and Dr. Loe is here for every one of them.

A little spinal decompression and it’s nap time, while their buddy gets his adjustment. Treatment may be customized to each patient, but the goal is the same—comfort and happiness.
