This week, we’re joined by Ben Schroeder, CJF, who shares how his interest in horseshoeing started as a kid on his aunt’s dairy farm and eventually turned into a full-blown career. From early mentors like Lee Olsen and Aaron Lohmann to working across Wisconsin, Colorado, and Texas, Ben talks about the ups, downs, and everything in between. He also shares what it’s like helping behind the scenes at the Chattanooga convention, and why staying connected to the farrier community means so much to him. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

🚨NEW EPISODE🚨

Farriers from the pleasure horse and racehorse worlds rarely find themselves in the same place to have a chat. In this episode, I speak with Gavin Moody AWCF of the legendary Racehorse community of Newmarket in England. Gavin explains his philosophies of shoeing thoroughbred race horses and dispels many of the myths and misconceptions that exist about that industry. We also cover Gavin’s journey through the higher level exams, what compelled him to do them, and how it has benefitted him and the horses he shoes everyday.

Join me for a wide ranging and thoughtful conversation with this incredible farrier.
