Founded in 1908 as the Diamond Calk Company by blacksmith Otto Swanstrom, today Diamond Farrier is owned and managed by the Royal Kerckhaert Horseshoe Company. From a modest beginning in Duluth, Minnesota, manufacturing only horseshoes by hand, Otto could not have imagined how this iconic brand would grow into the one-stop brand for farriers it is today; offering horseshoes, farrier tools and horseshoe nails.

As the world's largest independent horseshoe manufacturer, the Royal Kerckhaert Horseshoe Factory is a market leader in the farrier industry. As a family owned company since 1906, Kerckhaert shares Diamond's heritage and experience and brings added passion and innovation for quality and design of product.
