It was a great, educational, and fun weekend! It’s always a good time getting to see old friends and make new ones while learning and pushing our trade forward!

Huge shout out to Well-Shod.com and the World Championship Blacksmiths for all of their hospitality and hard work to make this event possible! Looking forward to next year already!

A little late posting, but we had a great time as always, last month in Reno for the annual American Farrier's Association convention! The information and education shared is always like drinking from a fire hose!

We are proud to invest in and take continuing education seriously so that we can better serve the welfare of the horse!

Complacency and negligence is a killer in this trade..

Toe clips, good ponies, and good people make the world go round.

Copied but well said and it rings true

“Farriers are a special breed. A rare breed.
We sign up for a trade that will beat us down, cripple us, push us to our limits, make us suffer through extreme cold and heat, put up with rank horses because we know deep down it's not actually their fault, continually fix the same problem day after day, trim after trim, because no one else takes responsibility...
We forsake our own physical limitations and keep pushing. Our drive is what saves us, sets us apart and also sometimes what breaks us.
I've never met a tougher group of people with deeper hearts for the work they do. We continually learn, adapt and change to be the best and yet we don't ask for much. We just do our job. Sometimes it's thankless. Sometimes it's not worth the money. Sometimes we may want to quit. But we get up the next day and keep going.
I know old cowboys that take bute for their aches and pains, have been kicked, stomped, sent flying, sustained serious injuries and so much more. I myself have sustained injuries and repetitive motion injuries to my elbows and joints in my hands, but I keep going.
Some days are really good, and some days your heart breaks for the horse being put down that we tried so hard to fix.
It's an emotional, extremely physical artform that no one would understand until you put your heart and sole into some nippers, a knife and a rasp.”

We had a great and very educational time a couple of weeks ago in Amarillo at the WCB winter clinic at Well Shod! Always striving to move forward!

Shout out to Nature Farms Farrier Supply for the new cobra shoeing box! After quite a few years and a couple of flips down the highway a couple of years back (Thanks to a trailer door coming open at 70mph) I figured it was time to retire the old box and picked up their brand new red white and blue box at the convention! Give them a shout for the best and safest box on the market!
