In the UK they have a very prestigious award given to the owner and their farrier for best shod horse of the show.
I think that’s really cool.
It’s a class you can enter and your farrier has time to set your horse up to win that class in advance.

For my followers that don’t have me as your farrier; do you think your horses feet would win?

Seems like every 10 years or so a new group of “trimmers” emerge from their weekend long training courses.
Along with them comes the “new idea” of synthetic shoes.

Well professional farriers have been using “not metallic horseshoes” since 1890.

Yet. 99.99999% of all horses shod today are in steel or aluminum.

Almost like we tried synthetics in the past. They failed. 99.9999% of the time.

Don’t be fooled by bright colored plastic horseshoes.

Recap of my kentucky trip all the photos I stole from friends.
A few years back I wrote an article on adult ADHD and how it affects farriers.
I had no idea it would be such a big hit.

York county avg rain fall in July. 3.5 inches.

Current amount is 22.3 inches.

Just because it’s not the same as your used to seeing doesn’t mean it’s not balanced. Horses are the same way.

Muddy horses
Yes they suck.
75% of the time nothing can be done about the working conditions
The other 25%. However.
If you have a barn and a stall.
And you have a set farrier appointment there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to have a mud covered horse.
Those are the people who get under their farriers skin and ultimately have to find another one

Avoid unnecessary lunging in circles and trotting up the black top drive way as a lameness assessment.

If you want to do a proper lameness exam. Sneak out into the pasture and spook him.
If he’s lame you’ll know.
