Oh thank you!

[@101taiga]

Happy for a video, and good to “see” you. Beautiful mule, too. Question, not really related to this video, more of a general question: are there regional differences in shoeing horse and mules? For example, I also watch a channel that highlights Friesian horses in the Netherlands. She filmed an episode where the farrier came to shoe one of her horses (he did toe clips). So, do most farriers worldwide speak the same “language” and use the same techniques? Or is there a variation in farrier “styles” around the US and world? Thanks again for taking the time to film, edit, and post!

[@beckylynn9640]

Good question, I'd be interested to hear his perspective. I live in Kentucky and my farrier uses similar techniques to this channel but also some variations and some of the guys on his crew are South African so it seems like at least on a basic level they're working from the same foundation with I'm sure lots of nuances depending. And if you're talking about the Friesian Horses channel with Yvonne, they are awesome too, I love watching them 😃

[@101taiga]

Becky Lynn Yes, love Yvonne’s channel! I’m sure you’re right about the foundations of blacksmithing being similar.
