Randy Krug (North Lawrence, Ohio)
I would like to give a tribute to my farrier Randy Krug, for he was the one that encouraged me to take and pursue my desire to be in the farrier world. He was also the one that recommended me to go to the Kentucky Horseshoeing School, which allowed me to learn under my instructors Mitch and Sarah Taylor, Sam and Kate Gooding, and Stan Mullen. They are all top notch and excellent teachers and farriers. Through my training under my instructors, they train me to be a well-rounded apprentice and future farrier. As well allowing me to go to the Summit in Cincinnati, Randy he helped me and my fellow classmates to utilize my time at the Summit and help guide us toward apprenticeship opportunities. Thanks to Randy, I met my current mentor Jeremy Lucas, as well as Lori McDade. Learning with them both has been an amazing time under the horse and at the forge. Thank you Randy for encouraging me, guiding me and being a friend. I could never have gotten this far in the journey to become a well-rounded apprentice and hopefully a top-notch farrier in the future.
