On behalf of the American Farrier’s Association
I would like to share the wonderful news about our newly formed Foundation! This endeavor was created to financially support AFA philanthropic efforts and programs, which have been a tremendous resource for farriers and ultimately the horses in our care. Please like and share this to everyone in the community. We are so very excited for you to join us on a path to move the AFA forward in ways not seen before.

Infectious Disease Alert:

If you are feeding hay cubes produced in Colorado it may be wise to discontinue at this time. There are reports of horses falling ill with what veterinarians think is botulism after consuming hay cubes produced in Colorado.

I like good standing horses!

No Farrier should have to deal with unruly horses, it’s up to the owner to have them sorted out before we ever touch them! Have a great day!

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.

Running a business is really hard.

What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid back people.

People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.

Friends and family will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails.

Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work life balance. You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend... it’s one of the hardest things you will try and balance

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed. It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!

ATTENTION CLIENTS….. my wife and I have placed ourselves on a volunteer list for disaster relief/cleanup efforts from the recent devastation in the community. If your horses are scheduled this week, especially Monday or Tuesday, there’s a good chance I’ll need to leave before the work is done or reschedule as it’s a call as needed basis. I’m sure you’ll all understand as we have no control over when that call might come, please don’t take it personal or think that your horses don’t matter, they do, this just takes precedence over pretty much everything right now. All our best, Keith and Kelly.

Sometimes you learn more by failing/not getting things quite right, and that’s ok! Spent some time this afternoon trying to sort out how to build a shoe and build/ apply jar caulks to a shoe for an upcoming contest
