- [Monetizing On YouTube.](https://farrierservices.net/monetizing-on-youtube/) - This is my first content creation proof of concept since I made the recent decision to become a content creator as my primary goal. The change from my goal of going out to shoe horses every day to instead going out to create content every day gives us the most potential and flexibility since the
- [Reboot.](https://farrierservices.net/reboot/) - I haven't been working on this site the whole summer. It's time to change that. Farriery is my passion and profession and I feel like I have a lot to offer. I feel like I have a unique perspective. I also really love to create content. Unfortunately, I've been lazy lately. It would be nice

- [7-20-22: Pulled Shoes](https://farrierservices.net/7-20-22-pulled-shoes/) - I hoped I would get away with a week off at my furthest and toughest stop this week, but I fully expected that something like this would happen. We tried. The barn staff is gone this week and we tried to double time last week so that I didn't have to come this week, but
- [11-23-21: Cold Start](https://farrierservices.net/11-23-21-cold-start/) - It has been cold in the mornings lately, but this morning really stepped up the suck. Its 20 degrees and that is not optimum weather to get the tools out and shoe horses today. Luckily, we live in modern times and there are lots of options to help with this kind of problem. This year,
- [Its a Frick'n Hoofpocolypse.](https://farrierservices.net/its-a-frickn-hoofpocolypse/) - These are the kinds of problems that can occasionally happen in late August around here but its only mid June now. We did have some pretty nice weather for a bit, but then it went straight to this crap you see below. The humidity is insane. I am drenched by 8am. That's with all fans
- [08-23-21: Nostalgia. My Mentor Retires](https://farrierservices.net/08-23-21-nostalgia-my-mentor-retires/) - This barn belongs to one of my newest clients... I've actually been working with her for quite some time, but she is still one of my newer clients. She came to me as a referral from my mentor, farrier Gary Stern about twelve years ago. Gary is the farrier that shod my mother's horses when
- [08-10-21: * Video * A Long Take of Shoeing At Sandi's](https://farrierservices.net/08-10-21-video-a-long-take-of-shoeing-at-sandis/) - This video is a little different than the style I have done before. It is basically just a long run of unedited footage. You get all the nonsense barn talk and all. Enjoy.
- [Hot! Shoeing - and ponderings of therapeutic shoeing.](https://farrierservices.net/hot-shoeing/) - We did have some really nice weather recently, but that appears to be over. Instead of just one extra shirt for the trip home, its more like one for every horse or two. Lots of laundry and drinks. The bright sun sure does make lots of things look cleaner, but I can attest that the
- [08-03-22: Bugs in the heat of the day caused me to pack it up.](https://farrierservices.net/08-03-22-bugs-in-the-heat-of-the-day-caused-be-to-pack-it-up/) - It was obvious right away that this was going to be another hot and humid summer day. I had no idea how much work I had to do at my second stop, which is a rough one on a good day. First stop. The first stop was a nice and easy full reset, meaning I
- [Double sided clips exercise.](https://farrierservices.net/double-sided-clips-exercise/) - This exercise is a way to practice drawing as many clips as we can from a single used horse shoe. The idea came to me while I was apprenticing with Dave Farley back in the mid '90s. I had asked him to help me, and so he did. But, it all came down to the
- [08-14-21: August is Getting Ugly.](https://farrierservices.net/08-14-21-august-is-getting-ugly/) - The ground has suddenly gotten hard and the bugs have gotten heavy. Its always a tough time of year, but this looks to be a bad one. The hooves are in terrible shape. Honestly, this post isn't directly related to that, but the suck is still the central problem of the season. Today was actually
- [10/20/20: Rain.](https://farrierservices.net/10-20-20-rain/) - It's not too bad yet, mostly just a sprinkling, but it still makes my nice shiny tools very sad and frankly, me too It was still warm this morning. Thank goodness for that but we all know what comes next in the mid west. Lucy One of the little ponies I worked on this morning
- [The Horses Are Out](https://farrierservices.net/the-horses-are-out/) - This week I had a few stops where the horses were out when I got to the barn. It happens, I'm not mad or anything, but it does cause hassles. I'm not mad because I have the best clients and this kind of thing rarely happens. When they inevitably ask that I don't fire them
- [I've been missing this thing.](https://farrierservices.net/ive-been-missing-this-thing/) - I have been missing my farrier vice since I got my new shoeing rig. The picture below is of my old farrier setup with the step vice. It was an integral part of the way I shod horses for a good 25 years. A farrier vice is useful for a variety of things, but it
- [07-15-21: Fresh Cross-Country Horseshoes.](https://farrierservices.net/07-15-21-fresh-cross-country-horseshoes/) - The old shoes are wore out. There isn't much to reference in this picture for how thick the shoes should be, but these are thin, for sure. Cross country horse shoes are drilled and tapped in the heels so that the client can add custom traction for the conditions of the course. Finished shoe. I
- [Unprecedented.](https://farrierservices.net/unprecedented/) - This whole Covid-19 thing is clearly unprecedented. Things are strange and tough, but we are all in this together. It has effected my farrier clientele in ways I never expected. I never thought I would see the things that are happening today, and it looks like more unexpected things are coming soon. Honestly, I just
- [01-04-21: Yet another re-boot.](https://farrierservices.net/01-04-20-yet-another-re-boot/) - Yup. Sometimes you have to do it a couple of times to get things going smoothly again. Usually, when you have to reboot something multiple times, its old enough and troubled enough that you may want to consider getting a new one. In this case, I will ask that you do not replace me just
- [Some Farrier Upgrades. Part 1](https://farrierservices.net/some-farrier-upgrades-part-1/) - These little additions will help a lot in the speed and efficiency of everyday tasks, but the real goal is to regain some long lost versatility. When I designed my new shoeing rig, I had decided to focus on single person shoeing only. The design does allow for a lot of versatility from the prospective
- [June 2022: Boo](https://farrierservices.net/june-2022-boo/) - Boo has a chronic lameness. It appears to be navicular syndrome of some fashion. We have been working as a typical farrier, trainer and veterinarian team with this horse, experimenting on what we can do to make her feel better. The above shoe is what we were using. I have had a lot of success
- [07-11-20: Rocker Toe Straight Bar Shoe with Myron Mclane Full Support Pad](https://farrierservices.net/07-11-20-rocker-toe-straight-bar-shoe-with-myron-mclane-full-support-pad/) - This is for a horse that has been diagnosed with navicular syndrome. I like to think of navicular syndrome as similar to carpal tunnel syndrome in humans. Its not cool. I'm not going to go into detail here about the pathology or the mechanical options farriers have here other than to say that this is
- [Beautiful Early Fall Morning Shoeing](https://farrierservices.net/beautiful-early-fall-morning-shoeing/) - Its another beautiful and cool early fall morning to shoe some horses. This is my absolute favorite time of day and year. Unfortunately, this weather that I feel is perfect for working is also very fleeting. Very soon is will just be cold and wet and grey. But not today! I'm starting to get back
- [11-28-21: It sure felt cold.](https://farrierservices.net/11-28-21-it-sure-felt-cold/) - Temperatures are all over the place these days. It's been a little warm the last few days and today wasn't even all that cold - but I was. Being around 30 deg F when I got up around 5am, I did go ahead and plug my truck in. Even at these relatively warm temperatures, the
- [Mud, crud & another winter as a farrier.](https://farrierservices.net/mud-crud-another-winter-as-a-farrier/) - My young son, Will and I started something good this fall. Once he decided that he is interested in forging and fabricating, we got right to working on the first steps of the basics. We were getting out there most evenings to do some forging and welding while the weather was so nice. His one
- [Shaping things up a bit.](https://farrierservices.net/shaping-things-up-a-bit/) - It's Friday, and I get the next four days off. This is unheard of this time of year. Most of my clients should be hot and heavy in training for the show season right now. Usually, during spring, I'm chasing busy chasing down lost shoes and lameness as the seasons change from cold and wet
- [07-22-22: Sandi's](https://farrierservices.net/07-22-22-sandis/) - This is one of my oldest clients (as in I've been working for her for the longest) and the only one I still go to Kentucky for. I still go there because I can make the trip, work on as many I my body can stand and go home. I don't have to bounce around
- [The Silver Bullet Project](https://farrierservices.net/the-silver-bullet-project/) - This is an ongoing project exploring how to create tools, shoes (appliances) and attach those appliances to horse hooves in an effort to promote movement and soundness. What I mean by that is this section will cover how we forge and fabricate the shoes and other special things we put on horse feet to help
- [Success Through Soundness](https://farrierservices.net/success-through-soundness/) - This is an ongoing project focused on exploring equine movement, the effects of farriery and pathology on movement and hoof related care. Success Through Soundness is more of the "why" and The Silver Bullet Project is more of the "how". This is only the beginning... a place holder, really. We are currently working on the

Please stay tuned and I think you will enjoy what we are creating. Outline all of the basic tools: As a beginning farrier, you will need some tools.
