After most enjoyable chats we get off the phone and suddenly realise, we didn't say "That" or "this" so here we are filling in some more gaps.We begin with the intention of talking about our career influencers and in truth we've probably left out more than we've spoken about, yet it does come to the surface that the great Pete Ramey is high on our list. , especially where "barefoot horses are concerned.But when two farriers get together most conversations get hijacked by flipping horses feet ...
As time served farriers we dive into who we are, our influences and thought processes, we reminisce over memories both shared and individual.Throwing light onto what shaped our hoof care journeys and why we ended up thinking about and approaching horses and their feet in the way we do.We really hope this podcast will not only be entertaining, but also showing that there really are many roads to Rome as we discuss horses in "Another Way"
