Farrier hails `incredible´ 2023 after horseshoes captivate millions on TikTok
A farrier whose horseshoe videos have attracted celebrity endorsement and made him one of the UK’s most viewed TikTokers for a third year running has hailed 2023 as “incredible”.
Sam Dracott, who smiths shoes for horses and treats infected hooves, appeared in the top 10 most-viewed TikTok videos in 2021 then was the UK’s number one most-viewed account of 2022 – and has now followed up the feat as the UK’s second-most viewed TikToker in 2023.
“To be in the top 10 TikTok list once was incredible, twice was unbelievable and this third win three years in a row is just absolutely unreal,” the farrier told the PA news agency.
“I can’t get over how the content continues to fascinate and inspire others.
“It shows me huge recognition for everything we do and, that finally, it is becoming understood!
“So many people have told me they are now considering a career becoming a farrier and that is something really special.”
