Farrier Resume Template
For a farrier resume, we recommend Classic Minimal: Calibri, black & white, dense bullets — the safest all-purpose ATS format for any field.
Why this template fits a farrier resume
A farrier resume needs to prove hands-on craftsmanship and animal-handling trust built client by client — Classic Minimal keeps the focus on that with a traditional underlined section style that reads clearly to both a hiring manager and the ATS software screening for Hoof trimming and balancing and Horseshoe fitting and fabrication.
All 25 Rezumz templates are single-column and ATS-safe by default — this one is just the best starting point for this specific field. You can switch templates any time while editing.
What to put in the template
Order the sections as summary, work experience, skills, then education and certifications. Put your most recent and most relevant role first. Keep it to one page unless you have a long career.
Skills to fill into the skills section
Must-have: Hoof trimming and balancing, Horseshoe fitting and fabrication, Lameness/gait assessment, Animal handling and safety, Client scheduling.
If you have them: American Farrier's Association certification, Corrective shoeing experience, Forge welding.
Example bullet points to copy the shape of
- Maintained a route of 150+ horses across 30 client stables, performing trims and shoeing on a 6-8 week cycle
- Diagnosed and corrected gait/lameness issues through custom shoe fabrication for 20+ performance horses
- Built a client base from referrals alone, growing bookings 40% over 2 years through consistent, reliable work
Replace the figures with your own. The layout does the formatting, but the bullets do the convincing.
Does the template matter to an ATS?
Less than people think. Every Rezumz template is single-column with real text, so applicant tracking systems read it correctly. What matters more is that the keywords above appear in your skills and in your bullets.
