The Lockdown Farriery Podcast Daniel

Sat down one evening and spoke to my good friend and research partner Abby Bunyard AWCF about the BFBA of which she is about to be the new president and our Fellowship journey so far. We go off on tangents, we discuss the state of the industry, and we drunk a lot of Gin in the process! This was a great conversation.

To hear more about Abby’s route into Farriery, listen to her episode with the Mullins Farrier podcast, it’s a great listen.

Last week I was invited to attend a meeting in Norway to with Mustad Hoofcare, on behalf of the BFBA Craft Committee to help develop a working version of the Mustad Farrier Portal. This is a scoring system developed to help competition organisers, and is a lot more than just a calculator. This system is the brainchild of Aksel Vibe AWCF. We sat down and and Aksel explained the system and how and why it was developed.
Although this conversation is very competition centric there are plenty many nuggets of information to learn from.

Massive thankyou to the Sponsors for your continued support

The Shoeing Lab

The Shoeing Lab

Today I'm at what can only be described as farriery's equivalent of Area 51. The Shoeing Lab is owned by Kelvin Lymer DipWCF, and he has been in a previous episode talking about Endurance Racing. Kelvin is one of the most innovative that I have met over the years, not just as a horseshoer but as a business man. Kelvin is the type of person who is always spinning plates and looking to improve equine performance and comfort.

For over 10 years he has been working and evolving his approach using 3D printing and has developed many products already and has even more not yet released.

Welcome to 2024

This year I aim to be a lot proactive with the Podcast. Last year was challenging to find time as it can be a time consuming, plus there was a lot of things going on in the world of Farriery.

This episode has been on the wait list for a long time.

Dean Lewis AWCF is a passionate and highly skilled Farrier and Blacksmith from Australia who's background in Harness Racing as a Racer and farrier served him with some excellent insight.

This is a subject I personally know nothing so I will definitely be claiming some CPD points for listening 

Its that time of year again, BFBA Focus 2023
