In this weeks episode of the Mullins Farrier Podcast, Andrew Casserly of East Sussex takes us through a lifetime in farriery—from first hearing Michael Soo at the forge at 15, to a four-year apprenticeship making and fitting handmade shoes, and on to a career spanning competition, education, and examination.

He shares his path through the qualifications, earning his AWCF and later his Fellowship at 60, along with the research behind his thesis on frog support and palmar angle. Andrew also reflects on teaching 18 apprentices—including his sons—and what it's meant to spend five decades in the trade.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
