Nonsense!
The 'h' often silent in speech.
'fär-ed is the preferred pronunciation in Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth edition. The 'e' should be the schwa symbol.

'hor-ed and 'här-ed, both accepted in the same Dictionary. The 'e' is reversed in the guide to pronunciation, thus the neutral (unstressed) vowel called schwa. The o in 'hor- has a dot above it; in the pronunciation guide, this means that the 'o' is pronounced as in saw, all, gnaw.
