Ollie,

Not a bad area to be, as I am not very far from the area myself. The one main problem is there are few real farriers here, quite a few that call themselves that who really are glorified steel beaters. every thing here usually has long toes with low heels and absolutely positively has to be hot shod NO MATTER WHAT!! They really dont pay that great as the area is so extremely varied you have those that will pay the price and those that want a trim for 10 bucks and 4 shoes for 50....and there are those around that do the jobs but there are about 30 to 40 "farriers" in the 200 mile area surrounding this location so be prepared for that....good luck and let me know what you decide can fill you in on some of the other little goings on of the area

Thanks,

Randy
