The life of a farrier has all sorts of learning experiences, if you don't already know it all.
I recently met my friend Aaron at the WCB winter clinic in Amarillo,Texas, USA.
Aaron is the first bloke I met who is Amish.
He was furthering his education, like the rest of the 400 people in attendance.
And man, he can shoot pool,!
He shoe's pacers for a living. Go figure. I was humbled by his honesty about the pride he had with the lifestyle he has 💪

Lovely Dressage mare. Long time client.
Really working on forging our shoes for fitting the coffin bone inside.
A little broken away from a month barefoot.
13 1/2 X 1x3/8 " stock, 3/4 fullered and toe clip.

19/02/2025

This older Dressage horse has the distal border almost under the coronary band, so I am trying bevels to give more surface area to stand on.
1x3/8 with massalotte clips.

15/01/2025

Jumping season is about upon us here at the beautiful wet, hot humid Gold Coast.
That means stud holes!
Screw ins,so you don't overload the back of the wet hoof on the harder surfaces 💪
Today Mitchell and I were working on collar strength on punched handmade hunter style hinds and line of travel with placement.

Myself and Young Mitchell have been trying our best, taking on the challenge of some clients new to us, that have been left desperate ,looking hard for a farrier.
We are doing our best to help you and your horse's.
I am not sitting by the phone, we have a client base already.
We all have downtime to recover our lives away from the stuff that pays our downtime.
If you don't respect our boundaries, you can take your bu****it elsewhere.
We are not chasing your work.
You rang us !
We will always do the best we can for all of your equine friends.
If we can't, we will ask for help from our peers 💪🙏

06/01/2025

Today, Mitchell and myself were discussing spiral shoeing techniques of the front end of the horse.
Landing, loading, transfer of energy.
To the amateur eye, these look like handmade 3/4 fullered shoe's.
That is why it is our responsibility to our Horses to share knowledge amongst our peer's.
If we don't share our experiences into results of our theories, tested, our trade moves backwards, and our horse's suffer.
Looking forward to learning as much as I can at the World Championship Blacksmiths winter clinic next month.

When they take you under their wings and give you the " key's to the kingdom!"
Had a wonderful break catching up with some mentors for Christmas 🎄
Thanks to those who house sat 🙌
Pippa told me to p**s off when i got home, as I hadn't asked her!
And those Farrier " pea gravel " slides will change your posture pretty quickly when you go barefoot 😎
Heading into 2025 busy folk's, so be patient if the weather gets in the road in SEQ 🙏

One behalf of Mitchell Willoughby Dwyer and myself, we'd like to extend everyone a very Merry Christmas.
Let's hope 2025 is all it can be.
We've been forging and learning new stuff every opportunity as life is ours to make ✨️
We are having a week family time putting our feet up.
Finished out with Blaze getting some 7/16×7/8 hunter fit shoe's.
Take care ✌️

Today is 5 weeks wearing Diamond toes.
The wear is straight off the middle.
Traction at the perimeter for propulsion for those interested ✌️

13/12/2024

2 of the best prospects in Queensland if you want your horse shod properly ✌️
Unfortunately I missed the presentation being dicked around with clients thinking they can manage my time!!
Well done Mitchell Willoughby Dwyer .
Jonesy wants shoulders like you too 💪💪

Mitchell is moving onto the 3rd year shoe's for college. (Next year)
Barshoes of various types.
We forged one side each for this Queensland Dressage Squad horse.
18 inches of 1x3/8. His first ever from the section of steel.
He shod him up. They dropped on.
It was a step by step lesson. He did very well.
Forging alongside your apprentice is very rewarding ✌️

Proud of young Mitchell Willoughby Dwyer
for his dedication to our trade.
I had the pleasure of firing for him at tradeschool last week at the University of Queensland Farrier Department, for the apprentice of the years competition.
A wonderful initiative to teach entrepreneurs of the future, as competition drives the market.
This is his shoe board, that was part of the 3 parts of the test.(he made over the past couple of months)
Plain stamp toe clip front, and 3/4 fullered quarter clip hind on feet. (Friday)
And a theory question hand written. ( Friday)
President of the Pfbaq , Ms Carly Moore did a great job judging.
The high level of competition was great to see whilst I was there 👌

Before and after picture of one of Mitch's handmades he put on Becky ✌️🇦🇺

30 years old TB with Pedal Oestitis.
The wet environment causes low heels and he runs forward at the end of cycle.
I "sheep dog " trim him with my nippers to gather length without taking depth.
Quarter clips to lock up the area behind them and keep the coronary band shape below.
1×3/8 plain stamped shoe's form protection and vertical depth.
Knocked up by Mitchell last evening in the humidity 💪

26/11/2024

How much fun do you have in your career?

Last evening Mitchell and myself went head to head making a 3/4×3/8 shoe each.
Eagle eye measurements from 5 weeks ago when last done. 10 weeks for the young bloke as he was in Perth on safari with the WAFA.
We had 4 heat's to make the shoe's from memory. Shape and size.
We both cut 12 3/4" flat bar.
This resilient standy love's some vertical depth under his wonky pin's.
Having a blast at work is rewarding to us both 💪✌️🇦🇺

20/11/2024

Big mare shod to vet script.
Lateral extension heartbar shoe left fore, and one of Mitch's handmades fabricated into a heartbar on the other.
It's great to have skills earned to draw on 💪✌️

18/11/2024

Beautiful showjumping mare with tricky conformation.
Crushes the medial heel .
Medial GRF shoe's handmade from concave section.
Allows for medial float on soft substrate, while giving traction for grip.
Fit centre of heel.

13/11/2024

16 inches 1×3/8 fronts made by Mitchell
15 1/2 1×3/8 Diamond toe hinds made by me for lovely big horse
Diamonds are everyone's friends if you can find them ✌️😎

Competition ready. I think 🤔 ✌️💪 Australian Farrier National Championship. Tamworth here we come with my mother and father's blessing after his stroke 🙏

Had a great weekend at the Gatton Heavy Horse 3 person Competition. The forth year competing with my friends Ashley Sutton from Poison Anvil Blacksmith and Labe Sutton from Labe Sutton Farrier Service It was a very tight leader board. We managed to earn second place. Well done to the committee of the Pfbaq for running a smooth event . Thanks Mitch for the sneaky shoe fit video.

Burning off the travel dust 💪✌️🇳🇿

Robin Rahmann is a young German farrier I met at Spruce Meadows, when he was travelling with his farrier father, who was also competing. He was kind enough to hold one of shoeing class horse's. He is coming to help Mitchell cover my business first 2 weeks of March. We very much look forward to his visit ✌️🇳🇿

Merry Christmas 🎅 2023
