He turned horseshoeing into one of the biggest TikTok sensations in the UK. This week on Talk Horse, Pippa Funnell and Tristan Phipps are joined by professional farrier and social media phenomenon Sam Dracott. From shoeing horses full-time to building an audience of more than 7 million followers online, Sam reveals how one hoof-cleaning video exploded into the most viewed TikTok in the UK. Sam explains the reality of being a farrier, why horses really need shoes, the biggest misconceptions people have about hoof care, and how social media helped shine a spotlight on an industry most people knew nothing about. The conversation dives into the craftsmanship behind farriery, balancing life as both a full-time farrier and online creator, viral pink horseshoes, educating millions through TikTok, and why “no foot, no horse” is one of the most important sayings in the equestrian world.
