**************************************
[A farrier is a specialist in equine hoof care, including the trimming and balancing of a horse's hoof and the placing of shoes to the horse's foot. At one time, farrier and blacksmith were all but synonymous.
The heritage of the modern Veterinary Corps is specifically traced to horseshoers and farriers who acted as animal nurses in the Army prior to WW1 (1916). The horseshoe-shaped insigne of the farrier was once carried into the design of the veterinarian's distinctive insigne which, for a few years before World War I, included the undersurface of a shod horse's foot.
Fort Robinson, Nebraska , 2 commissioned officers, 12 enlisted personnel, Permanent station. Authorized Capacity 1000 animals.]
