Entry Essay: 
American Farriers Journal's audience are members of the equine hoof-care industry. Our readers nominated approximately 50 farrier supply shops in North America. Following nominations, the shops were asked to complete a 20-question survey covering topics ranging from customer service, product variety & inventory, shipping & delivery, community engagement and accessibility. The judges scored each entry based on the supply shop’s responses. The identities of the supply shops were not disclosed to the judges to ensure an impartial decision. The point system for each category was weighted for a combined score of 100 per judge. Customer service and community engagement were each worth 25 points. Product variety & inventory, as well as shipping & delivery, could earn a total of 20 points, while accessibility was worth a maximum of 10 points. Olympia Farrier Supply was the top retailer on two of the judges’ scorecards to earn the 2024 Supply Shop of the Year honors.
