Sometimes you can only do the best you can with what you got to work with.
I find my customers want their horses to go and not be lame. It doesn't matter what shoes are on, so the horse goes great. I've got some horses I...
Good job. This is one of those OH SH!T moments where we go to hero in a split second. I can just imagine what was going through your head when...
If I remember right, they have begun to publish who will be there in the AFJ. I think I saw part of it in the last edition
I've found the Liberty nails to be great.
Depends on what you're doing, how you work, how hot you want it. The only thing I wish is if it had a way to use only 1 burner if I wanted.

Are you doing a schedule like this?
