Where does farrier demand concentrate in Ohio?

Ohio supports a deep Standardbred industry centered around Delaware County (the Little Brown Jug at Delaware Fairgrounds), and Thoroughbred racing at Mahoning Valley, Thistledown, and historically Belmont and River Downs. The Holmes County Amish belt holds one of the largest horse-working populations in the country. Northern Ohio (Cleveland metro, Chagrin Falls) supports hunter/jumper and dressage.

What about Standardbred and harness racing shoeing?

Delaware, Ohio is the harness racing capital of the United States. The Little Brown Jug brings Standardbred farriers from across the country. Standardbred shoeing is its own specialty: half rounds, swedges, and discipline-specific work.

What about the Amish horse population?

Holmes County and surrounding counties (Wayne, Tuscarawas, Stark) hold one of the largest working horse populations in the United States. Farriers in this region work primarily with Standardbreds (off-track and driving), Percherons and other draft horses, and pleasure horses. Many Amish farmers do their own basic trim work.
