More Information:
I started prior to when I went to school out of necessity because our Farrier then, came from from Townsend Vt, and I learned from (Butch) how to nail on a shoe. It was with his encouragement that I sought higher education and went to farrier school. I am now an American Farriers Assn. "Certified Farrier"

Different cases keep this work interesting, the horses that I work with,seeing different areas of the state, and others. Going to clinics, and learning new approaches, and the networking among farriers.
