Not sure about American law but English
and SA law has a principle of volentinon fit iniuria which says that
when you undertake an inherently dangerous job, you can hardly bitch if you get
hurt!!
I’d suggest HE approach HIS
insurance company, he should have PI cover for this.
Honestly!!?
My fiancé (also a farrier) was in ICU for five
days and high care for another five after getting kicked by a client’s
horse last year.? Similar circumstances
as it happened when he was CATCHING the horse, not shoeing it, and he’s
not paid to catch, but to shoe.? We haven’t
sued the owner : it’s the nature of the job.
And he’s engaged to a lawyer, which
would have made litigation so much easier.
Tell your farrier
to get a grip.

I'd be very surprised if your insurance company would cover that. Most
policies require that when you have someone working on your property, that they
provide you with a certificate of insurance (meaning that they have insurance
to cover themselves, usually liability and workers comp insurance). Even
though he wasn't charging you, he has in the past for similar work. I
don't know of any farrier that carriers workers comp insurance.
