Professional experience
I have over 45 years of experience as a farrier. My practice includes working with horses from many a background. Some were Performance Horses, shown in either the Western Horse Show world or possibly those following the Hunter / Jumper or English style of riding. Sometimes the horses that I visited were work horses used in a ranch setting. I have worked with a multitude of Veterinarians as we collaborated together to resolve many a lameness issue. Success in that arena brings about a special satisfaction. Most enjoyable were those situations that involved just good horse owners that merely enjoyed the company of their great equine companion.
