Using Qualitative Methods to Explore Farrier-Related Barriers to Successful Farriery Interventions for Equine Welfare in India
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The work is an original idea
However, I have some comments:
In general I miss some overall information: expecially Material methods shoul be rewritten and reported in a scientific way. This section and as consequence the results part, should be clearly rewritten. It lacks of a clear description on how the questions were conducted and the statistic that was performed. I suggest to the authors to divide the M&M section should be divided in Data collection ,Question formulation, Statistical analysis
I feel that the intention of this paper is sound but it need to be rewritten to be accted by the journal

Reviewer 2 Report
This study aimed to identify the reasons for the varying outcomes following Brooke India farriery interventions and understand the factors underlying farrier motivation. This is a very interesting paper, but needs little improvement.
In particular, I would add theFGD questionnaire in the main text to better clarify then the results explained in the results section and connect the mat and met with the results. Moreover, I would cut the answers given by the ferries, in my opinion unnecessary.
