The Hoof of the Horse Podcast

I recorded this podcast with Mitch Taylor and Gavin Moody in Türkiye while we had a little road trip to celebrate the end of the first exams at the farrier school they worked hard together to set up with the Turkish Jockey Club. We discuss exactly how do you teach farriery to a group of men who mostly do not speak English and have never worked with horses before, and in particular, how to you do it well and see the great results that they have.

With the IHCS 2025 approaching, I wanted to share this conversation I had with with David Hallock at the last one, to learn more about his life and work, as well as his research into the digital cushion. David also has taken almost every possible farrier exam out there, so it was interesting to hear all about that too.

In this episode I sat down with Esco Buff, a farrier who is both a doctorate and a minister. We talk about radiography, his studies on fescue toxicity, passing on old knowledge to new farriers, limb length disparity, plus his work with camels, eagles, turtles and a whole host of other animals. We spoke about so many topics, there’s too much to list here! Thank you to our sponsor The Hoofcare Essentials Foundation, and their affiliated partners.

Curtis Burns is well known in our industry, and I was happy to sit down with him earlier this year at IHCS to find out more about his journey into hoof-care, how he created his products and why, breaking down where farrier-vet relationships can go wrong and how to avoid it… plus much much more. It was great to speak with him - listen now to hear some great insights and anecdotes from Curtis. Thank you to our sponsor The Hoofcare Essentials Foundation, and their affiliated partners.

Auli Mantila started her hoof-care career a bit later than most do, and her commutes to farrier school actually inspired her to create something in her other profession - which is a very unusual one for a farrier! I won’t spoil it, listen to the podcast to find out what it is. We also discuss Finn horses, and shoeing in sub zero temperatures, with horses that can have frozen hooves and an inch of snow on them, plus many other interesting parts of being a farrier in Finland.
