As we approach the 10th anniversary of Red Renchin’s passing, we are partnering with Life Data Labs to honor the former American Farriers Journal technical editor and International Horseshoeing Hall of Famer with a three-part video series.

We sat down with Mark Ellis, a Wisconsin farrier who learned the ropes with Renchin and went on to enjoy a 38-year career in hoof care.

In this episode, Ellis recalls Renchin’s relationships with area veterinarians, his legacy and the second career as American Farriers Journal’s technical editor.
