Mike I think some of both..bad part was the client called me after I left the farm and said travis don't bring that guy back..I thought he had done said something out of the way to the trainer/owner..I could not dream of passing out a card for any reason.. I'm just really frustrated with haveing the work and not able to find any good help..I'm worried to thin clients out because I have been without work before and that is awful and don't wanna be like that again ...so I work long hours..I feel my area is full of great farriers so I try to go above and beyond service if that means getting out of bed at 2am or driving 2 states over to shoe one horse that's at a trainers..I find they don't mind paying but they want service and for the most part work ethic is gone among folks...I always felt I was good help i.. I always felt I shut my hole and new my role and spoke when spoke to...I'm sure I did not do all things right but it was cause I did not know..while working with a gaited shoer one time I sugested welding up nail holes the client over heard me and loved that idea..lol.. I still hear about that to this day that was 10 years ago..lol..It did not happen agian
I guess I have enough to do but I could sure use some tme in a warmer climate. I might be able to clear a few days here and there. LOL

Wish I would of run into some of you guys years ago. First guy I worked with I payed to watch me shoe mine and others I could drag up. Then did his for a while after a year he cut me in on new contracts after two he gave me a few contracts after three he started sending me all his overload. It would have ben nice to get a regular check but I feel now that I still owe him more then I could pay. Since then I have worked with a few others and even taken horses to a few that were reluctant to teach and played **** and kept my mouth shut. I try to work with others in my area and help new ones starting out and im lucky enough to shoe for two old timers that are too busted up to do it themselves any more.
Nothing forced or misunderstood can ever be beautiful.
