A photo of Edward Martin from the American Farrier's convention last week. Haydn Price was a lecturer, very well received, and Billy Crothers, Darren Bazin and other Brits did very well in the competitions. But Edward was the star! The women in the photo are all farriers except yours truly. Between them
they have over 100 years of experience shoeing horses. Ada Gates (front
left) and Allie Hayes (second from right, behind Edward) were two of the
first women farriers in America, about 30 years ago, and they're still
in the industry, though not shoeing. Tia Nelson (far left) came along
in 1980; she went to vet school a couple of years ago to help with her
shoeing. The three California women on the right are relatively newcomers,
with about 10-15 years' experience each. All the best, Fran Jurga. |
