Horse people spend their whole lives looking for a good farrier ;~D
SO many farriers are just guys that really didn't work well in jobs that had to deal with people, so they went into horse shoeing.;~D
I'm lucky, I like mine, and he's as stable as they come.
We have three :) - spread the horses amongst them. We decided to do that due to prices, quality of shoeing and the fact that we can generally get one out almost immediately if necessary.
I am sad we have lost ours, he had done all the professional training and everything and was also a trainer. He has a wonderful way with horses that just make them want to please him. It is wonderful to watch.
I am scared we wont find someone as good.......
Vac. them. It's horrible.
