Die Hufschmiede

Die Hufschmiede, operated by Hufschmied Eggenberger GmbH, is an Ostschweiz-based smithing business in Amriswil, Switzerland. It provides professional hoof care and farriery for horses, ponies and donkeys, including regular trimming, barefoot care and shoeing. The team also undertakes specialist shoeing jobs, with services available at customers’ stables or farms through its fully equipped mobile forge vehicle. For customers who prefer, work can also be carried out at the company’s stationary workshop in Amriswil.

Alongside farriery, Die Hufschmiede offers repair and sharpening services for tools. It sharpens and hardens a range of pointed tools, forging them under a power hammer, straightening them at the anvil and grinding them before heat treatment. The business can also straighten stake irons, known as Schnureisen, or supply new ones. Customers choosing new stake irons can select the size and material. With its mobile equipment and workshop, the company combines traditional smithing skills with practical services for animal owners and tool users across the region.
