2nd! 

 

There is a huge difference between trimming/shoeing your own horses, and being a professional farrier that also endurance rides.....

Subject: Re: [RC] how many endurance riders shoe and trim their own horses?

I do my own, which consist of four actively competing horses.

Yes, I did go to Farrier school....my mamma paid for it.  :))

Yes, I do now realize how much this is REALLY worth.  How many people ride the OD 100 and not even give their shoes a second thought????  I didn't even think about those shoes coming off.

Not really hard to learn, but takes a lot of time and horses to get it really down pat.  Some of it is abstract....it "feels" right.

trade school?

thanks!
