ACCESSORIES

Farrier tools. Cecil Swan designed his range of farrier tools and equipment to complement the SWAN PORTAFORGE and to enhance efficiency in the workplace.

Welding supplies. Cecil's specially formulated welding compounds, in use worldwide, enable all types of horse shoes to be made in the field. They are also used extensively in shoeing competitions.

Hoof dressing. Anti-Bac Hoof Dressing bac, another Cecil Swan formulation, is proven to be very effective in maintaining healthy feet - to the satisfaction of farriers and horse owners alike.

As a working farrier, Cecil Swan uses his products daily, as well as maintaining strict quality control and keeping abreast of new technology.
