We all probably hear it time to time, "Oh yeah, I went to farrier school." or "I took a course in college."

At what point does one's education become outdated or irrelevant to current farriery, if they are not still practicing the trade, or continuing that education?

On hot days, what do you do between appts while in your vehicle? Do you use conventional A/C, or 4 windows down @ 60mph type of AC?

As a last post for Farrier Week 2026, we go to a controversial topic:

Do you think thar the Farrier trade should be regulated? If you say Yes, feel free to dive in more by stating what the regulation should look like.

If you are out of stock on a size shoe that you need, would you rather stretch one or grind one get to the size you need?

I feel like this question is asked a lot from those unfamiliar with horses. Can they feel it?

So the question really is, do you think the horse knows the difference between the end of a cycle and beginning of a cycle? Furthermore, can they relate that change to the Farrier and the process of trimming/shoeing?
