Re: [RC] how many endurance riders shoe and trim their own horses? - Flora HillmanHave been
shoeing for over 25 years -- but only do my own, so ... my back is still
working great. Educated myself by a book, along with observation and
consultation with *good* farriers throughout the years. I learned
when I was eventing in the late 70's. I didn't start endurance riding until
Y2K.
No, it's not
hard to learn, but ...if you are only doing your own, and don't own a herd of
30, it will take you longer to learn to do it proficiently. Hitting
that very first nail in for the very first time is the most
nerve-wracking thing you'll ever have to do when learning to shoe.
