Your daughter is adorable. What a beauty of a horse. You're so kind & caring for the horses you care for. Arthritis is a nasty condition for sure. Thank you.❤❤❤

Ted stands so well for you Sam. He really trusts you. Thank you for sharing.🐴

[@farrierlife]

He does and my pleasure!

Being only an observer of horses, I never thought you would need to be fit to be a farrier... well I knew you would need good arms because of the forging, but my back and legs were hurting just watching you. Very nice how you account for Ted's age and arthritis. Excellent job 😃

I've ridden for almost 25 years, starting at age 4, and stopped weeks shy of my 27th birthday. Trust me, I've had good to great farriers for my horses over the years and in the Southeastern Wisconsin border and the uber rich northern Illinois cities I grew up riding in, all the farriers were just regular, generic blue collar, "middle aged" guys (usually early to late 40s or older as one did Temple Lippizans...these are the direct relations/ancestors/bloodlines from the famed Spanish Riding School in Vienna and 60 years ago, this man imported about a hundred horses from them to keep breeding and they'd do haute ecole shows as much in the same vein as Vienna and that sprawling facility was only 15-20 min from my house...had about 3 younger apprentices with them as my dad told me when he went out to see if the he needed any help as my imported horse was so fidgety). Maybe it's the Nothern/Midwest states, but farriers don't look gorgeously handsome and late 20s/early 30s like this guy or this other fellow fully tatted English guy Samuel Wolfenden, who looks like Theo James with a little Richard Madden sprinkled in...lord have mercy. ❤🫡😍

There are many physically demanding courses in farrier schools.

You have such a sweet daughter 🍌 Ted has lovely blue eyes ❤ How easy is it to get an apprentice? My grandad was a farrier who worked from his forge & his apprentice, once fully qualified, would travel to shoe. Job well done 👍

[@farrierlife]

She has her good and bad days 😂
