Being a female farrier is:

Sometimes having to wait for your client to hear from a man exactly what you've been saying for months for them to believe it.

Being told you're not strong enough to muscle the dangerous horse, when sedation and training are what's needed.

Putting up with a million micro aggressions from your peers online and in-person.

Being held to an entirely different standard of skill and knowledge than male farriers.

Working twice as hard to get half as much respect from clients, vets, and other farriers.

Striving for perfection not only because it's good for the horse, but out of fear you will be run out of the industry if you make a single mistake.

Having to be physically and emotionally tough as nails to survive and thrive as a woman in a profession and society that doesn't even think we deserve equal rights.

I am so grateful for my community of fellow women farriers. We are stronger together, and you all keep me going so I can focus on what I set out to do: help horses.
