Emil Johansson

Emil Johansson lives in Skåne and works as Farrier.

Previously, Emil competed in farriery, including becoming debutant champion in 2004 in Falsterbo. Today he shoes both walking horses to national team horses in most disciplines as well as engaging in a lot of sick shoeing.

Emil has also completed the additional training to become an approved farrier by the Swedish Board of Agriculture. It is clear that he is passionate about his profession as a farrier. He also says that he has a great interest in the anatomy of the hoof and the hoof in balance, something he strives for at every shoeing opportunity, if you get the hoof in balance quickly, you have gained a lot of ground, says Emil.

Emil started with Hippocrates system Blacksmith for farriers three years ago and he tells us:

"I like the whole picture. My business has got a more professional touch as my customers now get a text message via Blacksmith the day before I arrive and the best thing is that no customer ever forgets me since I started with Blacksmith. This means I don't go to work unnecessarily. It's nice and the customers appreciate it enormously.

Before Blacksmith, I would write down the day's work on a pad or piece of paper and to say the least, in the car there could be many different pads of paper and it got a bit messy. Today I bring my mobile or ipad to all customers and start by taking a few moments with the customer and filling in all the details on the spot, alternatively they send me a text message with their details. When my work is done, it takes a few minutes to do an invoice and I often do it right in the car. My working days used to be two or three hours longer because of invoicing and now it takes a few minutes.

I recommend Blacksmith to all my colleagues"
