Forging Brains Podcast

It's pretty common with a new year that people talk about New Year's Resolutions. We don't necessarily try to come up with resolutions but instead, we talk about the Goals we have for ourselves-personally, professionally, with the podcast, and amongst being teammates with our friends. We'd also like to hear what other goals you guys have for the upcoming year as well. This episode we also got to cover some pictures of work you guys sent in to us too. So, thank you!

It's a busy time of the year and we're sorry for not uploading more podcasts consistently! Summertime is always a grind and for a lot of us we're preparing for the World Championships up at Spruce Meadows or getting through the hump of horses we have on our schedule. We recorded this podcast about two weeks ago when i was at Troy Wood's shop getting ready to practice for the weekend and we talked about how practice has been going for us so far. Also chatted about other things we've been up to like Riley had Will Stelter over to his place to make some content for Will's YouTube channel you can go check out. Also talked about some horseshoeing and the challenges we face in our book and to try and help some of those troubled horses or maintaining the good ones. This was just a good sit down and chat to catch up while we've been absent on the podcast for the past little bit to catch everyone up.

This was an exciting episode sitting down to learn about Travis Burn's role at the Virginia Tech College. He's had a number of different roles at the college there throughout his time teaching there for 16 years. Was also great to learn how he was able to push himself to earn those Masters Degrees, as well as, becoming an FWCF through the Fellowship. Lot's of dedication and priorities to make that happen.

We heard you guys enjoyed the first "tool time" episode we did so we did another episode talking about the tools we use in our everyday horseshoeing careers. There's lot of chatter about what tools are the best and what tools are the cheapest, blah blah bahh... But we broke down the tools we choose to use and what makes them special to us. Also got into the anatomy of these tools about how to use them and their purposes. So we broke down every tool we keep in our tool carts that earn us a living! Most of these tools can be purchased online at www.wellshod.com or www.yukonforge.com or www.salcitoknives.com or www.worldchampionshipblacksmiths.com.
