:rolleyes:Howdy back to you and welcome.

Jeff gave you one side, the other side is you will meet and converse with some awesome farriers from all over the world on this site.

Isn't Ty Murry from Stephensville, Texas

This is a great place to interact with all levels of farriers skill.
And you will see and read about all kinds of horse maladies and what others do to correct or make the animal move more comfortable.

Ask good questions, post your name (folks like to know who their talking to) and sit back and learn and contribute. Teach us something you are good at.

if you have a particular horse your discussing try to post pictures. It makes it easier for others to make suggestions and it makes the whole thread much more interesting for others who will read it.

You will find the ones who holler the loudest are the ones who many times offer the most in suggestions. So don't be offended, but rather read between the lines.
Their all pretty awesome farriers.

Stephenville is the home of a bunch of good cowboys and Tarleton State, a college much better known for its rodeo team than for its football team. I almost graduated from Tarleton and I had a helluva time while I was there.

Welcome aboard, Jake. Is Reece McElroy still butchering hooves around Mingus?

oh im definatley in the spot of needin to know more than know more so it will be mostly all questions than comments!

our place backs up to ty murrays place, and his girlfriend jewel bought the niebores place im just glad she aint gonna move into that house there just gonna use it as a guest house and recording studio she is a pain in the butt!

theres a bunch of prorodeo cowboys around the area and more movin in. clinton anderson is moving his operation down here next august.

that name dosnt sound familiar but there are a TON!! of hoofbutchers round here. the good shoers around here are too busy and dont want to waste there time with a handfull of trims and one set of fronts. this is one of the reasons im needin to learn more. im doing all my trims and putting front shoes on a horse that isnt gettin ridden right now. he just gets him since hes a tenderfoot

im lucky all the horses here are pretty basic maintence, ive got a farrier about 100miles away that i can trust his work and opinion he makes it up here periodically to hang out and check my work, he dosnt make it up as often though since hes having hell with his back.

before my wife and i moved to stephenville i was riding with my farrier on weekends when i could, i can do a pretty good trim and do pretty good setting shoes i definately dont call myself a farrier or a horseshoer!! it takes me about an hour to trim and seems like forever to set shoes

i need to get P II i had a borrowed P I for a long time but need to get my own

You might try looking for a used copy on eBay or Amazon.com. Another book you may want to get is "A Handbook of Horseshoeing" by Dollar and Wheatley from www.centaurforge.com.

"Mechanics of Horseshoeing Simplified"

"The Lame Horse"

I'm sure you will get other recomendations but those ought to get you started.
