My guest this week is Bruce MacDonald, a New Zealand based farrier who has a wealth of knowledge and stories to share. We discussed many different areas, including how to find education in a country with no farriery school; when motorbikes replaced horses; farriery competitions and travel; shoeing with heels (caulkins)on every horse; the risks for a farrier using their hard-earned cash to build another business, and much more.
