Its strange Ben, but I thought you were a bit older.

Rick

I thought he was taller too?

At least he has enough sence to wear proper heag gear for this work.

Young, flexible, short, heals fast. Can get in and out from under a horse in a flash. Smart enough to wear protection. Don't we all wish for those things every day. He's a great kid. Goes with me every day, stays clear of the horses unless I let him come see or help, and loves every minute of this so far. He love's to ride, help clean feet, practices driving nails in wood, puts together shoe pad combos when I'm not looking, and rasps the heck out of everything in site if I don't keep a close eye on him. That includes my truck. I don't know what I'd do without him.

I'm actually selling that old seventy pound anvil to a friend and getting Cody (my son) a thirty five pound anvil they have at the supply store. He's been wanting it for about two months and today while there he actually picked it up off a stand about 2 or 3 inches just to show me he could handle it and needed it for work. He's got a birthday soon so that's one of the many things he will get. He's got an old calvary driving hammer and a ball peen hammer for a rounding hammer and an old set of tongs, he says thanks Bill, they fit his hand fine.

I am just a little older than him, a little taller, and much rounder, but with this baby face we look a lot a like, I wish!

Your son sounds just like my 4 year old. I love bringing him on the road with me. His favorite thing to do is hold the horses or walk them back to their pens. He too is always finding some kind of mischeif to get into if I dont keep a close eye on him.

i just bought a journyman but havent gotten a chance to use it yet (just learning to shoe)

Welcome, and you're gona love it,
Bill
