Now the trick is to find some one to apprentice with haha. Ive started my own business but its slow as expected, ive only been out of school for 3 weeks now so i cant expect much. Im doing around 2 trims or shoeings a week. Its not quite enough to keep my muscles in shape tho, everytime i go out again my legs start shakin like im shoeing my first horse again.
but im just tryin to keep busy reading horseshoeing books and putting my name out there.
Hi Dustin,
Good idea to try and find someone to go with, even though that is difficult. I would take you on but I just don't want to work that much to have someone with me.

My son is still getting new calls, so there's work out there but you must go slow. Much harder to correct a reputation than to build it properly the first time. I find that even I'll puff a little harder if I'm not working as much as usual, so don't be to alarmed, hitting the gym wouldn't hurt.

All the best.
John
