I am seeing a lot of folks show an interest in working around drafts.
I have 2 men riding with me this weekend one from Massachuesetts and one from New York.
I may have a lady who has asperations to be a farrier show up also, if not she is planning to ride in the near future.

I have 8 drafts to trim on Sat and 3 drafts and 2 horses on Sunday so they will have ample horses to try getting under and more than enough to watch me work around them.

It is my desire to show more farriers and owners safe and easy ways to work with and around the big horses.
I see it as a win win situation for everyone willing to try and a definite win for each and every draft.

my 2 cents worth

In the near future i am making a permanent move south, most likely South Carolina. At which time I will build a business doing drafts and you will be closer and the invitatation will still be there. My 2 cents worth

canadian OFFLINE Contributing Member Posts: 65 Karma: 0	Hi Bruce, im going to farrier school in sept. and im done in october and i was wondering if you were still in vermont then, if i might be able to come to your place one weekend and watch you shoe some drafts. I dont mean to be inviting myself or anything, but i just thought if you didnt mind teachin some people it'd be a great opportunity. Especially since i partly own a draft. Thanks Dustin
