Summary

I was raised on a horse ranch. Those experiences led me to becoming an Agriculture teacher.

My love of horses allowed me to become a student of horse instincts, actions, reactions, and how a person affects the horse' s actions, whether I was on the ground or, most importantly riding the horse.

my experience as an Ag. Teacher, gave me improved management skills, communication skills and honed my patience.

Although I have slowed a bit, I have been a farrier for over fifty years.
