Don't get your shorts bunched up!!!!

I been accused of it a time or two myself, especially since my colts and cows pay my bills in the winter. Truth be known I'm more cowboy than Farrier, but that is not setting the bar very High.
You know what I mean, there is a long stretch between a farrier, and a cowboy how tacks on his own and helps out his buddies for a little pocket money.
I shouldn't say much since that is how I got my start but going to clinics and studying all I can, has helped me see the extent of my ignorance. I'm just glad I found this forum, and John Muldune is only 2.5 hours away.
But since shoeing pays a sight better than watching someone else's cows, go figure how I came down on this side.
Trouble is cowboyin and rodeoin is how I got started with most of my clients. Only the last couple of years have I started getting vet referrals.
But "rightfully so" they are a little hesitant about me because I have never attended school, and don't have my certifications yet.
But I'm working on it!!
