>I'm new to ridecamp and this is the first message I've attempted to 
post so I hope I'm doing this right.  I've been following the 'farrier' 
discussion with interest and am a bit surprised that no farriers have 
joined in..  However, I'm a farrier (20 years) and an endurance rider 
and I can sympathize with your problems.  Altho I'm pretty well retired 
from shoeing (except my own) the last 10 years of my business I didn"t 
travel. All horses were brought in which means there were no missed 
appointments, I always had a level, well-lit work area, and all my tools 
and equipment were handy.  Because I was working from home and didn't 
have to maintain a shoeing truck or spend so much time on the road I 
could charge less and spend more time on each horse. I know of other 
riders  who travel to the farrier and it certainly seems to work for 
them.    

Also, I'd just like to add that I'm really enjoying all the info on 
ridecamp .  Wonderful!



Susan
