I call this episode The Hoofsmith’s Path.  From losing his dad as a toddler and being raised in the city by a single mom to becoming a Fellow of the Worshipful Company of Farriers Examiner, Mark Trussler’s life reads like a classic heroes journey to get where he is now.  His is an inspirational story of grit and I had a great time getting to know him.  You will too.  We are cleared for takeoff.

I can’t believe it’s been thirty years.  As a young man, I used to hear the old timers talk about how fast it goes.  As an old man now, I can confirm the validity of their claim.  Well, we are going to make a big celebration of Heartland Horseshoeing School turning thirty, and you are all invited to join us.  There will be a forging contest on May 9th and 10th with buckles, added money and prizes in every division.  Saturday afternoon will finish with a barbecue as we thank every Heartlander that has left some sweat and blood in this place, and every customer and friend that has been a part of it.  We would love to see you.  May 9th and 10th at Heartland Horseshoeing School.
