The Heart of a Farrier. In this podcast I have the pleasure of interviewing Eric Nygaard. Eric started shoeing in the early 80s, and he became a mainstay in the industry, especially in the American Farrier's Association. Playing pivotal leadership roles throughout the decades, Eric hasn't missed a convention since he started, despite devastating health problems that would have sidelined most. The heart of a farrier is the perfect name for this episode, and you are going to like getting to see another side of Eric Nygaard. We are cleared for takeoff.
