I was lucky enough to do a few shoe building and blacksmithing demos at the Flywheelers Antique and Tractor show yesterday. It was quite the experience, good times were had and I got to hang out with a Forged in Fire finalist. Looking forward to the next one later this fall!

After 2 decades of being a full time farrier, it's pretty common to develop long term clients and even longer term horses that just switch owners. Yesterday, I shod Shadow for my last time as he will be moving to the DC area in February. He has been in my schedule for over 9 years. He has been a practice horse for my CJF gos, building straight bars for a bilateral white line issue, and just recently for AFA Convention Contest practice as he wears 12" of 3/8x3/4 very well. I've watched this horse age gracefully over the last few years, survive colic surgery, a nerve damaging kick to the hip and a host of other horse related injuries. It's time for him to move on to the next stage of his life and I hope he is as good for the next farrier as he has been for me. Thank you Shelby for the opportunity to service your horses hoof care needs.

While at Convention in Chattanooga, I had asked Mr. Glenn Reese to rework my 20 year old Jim Keith fire tong set. He went above and beyond making those tongs grip better than the used to and by sending a pair of his own hot fits to replace the pair I had stolen. I appreciate the love this trade shares. Thank you again, bud. If you have a need for tongs or repairs, look Glenn up and support the maker.

A very interesting read on the misconceptions of hardiness of pigmented and non-pigmented feet.

❔Did you know❔
There is no evidence that white hooves are weaker than black hooves...

Hoof colour is determined by pigmentation and does not affect the strength of the feet.

Strong hooves depend on genetics, diet, age, environment and management.

It's likely to be believed because it's much easier to see bruising and damage in white feet.
