This is the most crude farriery process I have ever seen. He should really get a good education. He leaves his horses walking on proud, untrimmed frogs and uses heat producing power tools where a rasp is just too much effort... and I have never before seen this forced rope situation... if you knew nothing better i guess it might look fine. But it is the worst I have ever seen and involved methods which are just beyond belief.
A wonderful story and great tribute to your mentor. Ralph Waldo Emerson:: "It's not the destination, it's the journey." How peaceful you must feel reaching the destination after a meaningful journey. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for reaching out to me. Even if I never picked up a hoof I had the feeling I had already done it but forgotten about it. I ‘m so grateful that this man came on my path. He’s still with me every day all day. ✊️
