A farrier hoof cradle and tool caddy kit providing one structure to support a horse's hoof during repair, shoeing, and finishing and a wheeled pedestal with storage trays to store farrier-associated tools and accessories. A first base has a vertical first support member centrally disposed on a top side thereof and a hollow vertical first rod centrally disposed atop the vertical first support member. Height-adjustable first and second poles alternately engage with the first rod. A U-shaped hoof cradle is disposed atop the first pole. A disc-shaped finishing stand is disposed atop the second pole. The wheeled pedestal has a tapered second rod vertically disposed thereon with a grooved handgrip proximal an upper end thereof. Each tray has a central orifice that slidingly engages the second rod to a point in which the second rod has a diameter larger than the central orifice.
