What do you see as the biggest problem facing the farrier industry today?
I’d have to say the lack of of the truth and missing information. I call it the old school methods still in practice. I’m sure we would almost all unanimously agree that Farrier’s themselves can be a breed apart and many times not easy to deal with when it comes to questioning them about their methods of shoeing.

Horse Jobs – Equine Nutrition Specialist

Equine nutritionists are an important part of the horse spectrum and have an innate ability to understand health. This isn’t a particularly hands on career, while there is horse contact, the majority of work is in research and testing.

What You Need

Nutritionists work in many different environments and with a variety of different types of people. They can be responsible for communication with owners, manufacturers, dealers and even farmers. Anyone in this position has to enjoy meeting new people and seeing new places. This is a position which benefits from an aptitude for math and computers, strong communication skills and an inquisitive nature.

A genuine love of biology, a problem solving nature and a love of the outdoors are strong characteristics in a good equine nutrition specialist.

Breyer Horses

Breyer Horse Something about a love of horses drives young girls so raving mad that they collect hundreds of plastic models in homage.

An Old Favorite

Breyer Horses have been around since I was a kid and and I loved them every bit as rabidly as the real thing. They were a source of endless hours of amusement to me and I still protect them fondly today.

In fact, evidence of my own childhood obsession is stashed away in boxes to be revisited someday. Admit it, you have boxes of them too.
