Properly Fitting Fly Masks For Horses

A wonderful invention, the fly mask is great for keeping flies away from the horse’s eyes. It is great for both pastured and stalled horses. But fly masks must fit horses properly to be effective. If it does not fit it will not keep flies away from the horse’s eyes and face. What’s more, it will not protect the eyes and face area if does not stay on the horse.

Horseshoeing, How To Choose A Farrier

It took me a long time for this one to come to me. What are the criteria used to choose your Farrier? Interesting question isn’t it?

Over the 16 years of my career as a Farrier I have heard several times from people “My Farrier Specializes in Lame Horses”. For some reason I’ve always felt a bit inferior from hearing this, as if because I didn’t work with a lot of lame horses my abilities as a Farrier didn’t measure up. How wrong I was for thinking such a thing. Truth is I know how to work with lame horses and I understand lameness and I’m a good craftsman and trust the quality of my work.
