About

I am a horse trainer & a horse shoer. I arrived in Tucson in 2016 from Switzerland, where quality & precision are integral parts of my culture. I originally come from dressage and competed for more than 20 years. I learned how to look at a horse, understand his movements, his balance and develop an exercise program which is adapted first to the horse and obviously to the rider. I switched to Western riding about 10 years ago improving even further on my ability to communicate and collaborate effectively with horses.

What clients have to say about Olivier Fahrni

Testimonials

"My wife and I could not be happier with Olivier’s work as a farrier and trainer. We have used him for barefoot trims for several years now, and our only regret is not having discovered him sooner. Oliver has incredible knowledge of the horse and its feet and works with just as much tenderness and care. This puts the horse at calm and immediately sets a tone of mutual respect that isn’t always present among other farriers. Olivier takes his time and treats each trim uniquely, not as a cookie cutter job he tries to finish as quickly as he can every 6 weeks. He has a deep understanding of the hoof and continues to learn all he can. As a trainer, Oliver has also been incredible. We have two young horses who came to us with very little training. Olivier has been essential in helping me with them – not only improving our communication but teaching me approaches that will be helpful with any horse at any level. This has boosted my confidence as well as theirs. Olivier is sequential in his training, listens to what my concerns and goals are, and organizes our sessions accordingly. Best of all, Olivier’s passion for horses is contagious. After each training session, whether it went well or went poorly, I’m more invested in that lifelong journey of horsemanship. Don’t hesitate if you are considering Olivier as a farrier or trainer – you will be happy you hired him." ~ Damon M.

"Olivier has been my farrier for a year now. I have had horses for 38 years and have used many farriers. Olivier sets new standards for the craft. Attention to detail, skill, scheduling & timeliness, and politeness is unmatched in the industry. He is a gem." ~ Tim B.
