When my husband and I got married, he had only been shoeing for a short time.
Most farriers know how hard it is to establish a new business.
The work is hard and the hours are long but he loved the work and want to do it. I started this company to try to generate business for my husband during his slow times. He hung in there and within a few years was considered to be one of the best farriers in the area for show horses. The lean times made him really appreciate these good accounts and the situation went from not enough work to more than could be done and remain healthy. His back injury kept getting worse and he finally had to quit in 1994.
