A Canadian farrier who was burned in a flash fire has been released from the hospital, but he still has a long road ahead before being able to return to work.
Many farriers travel with their dogs and allow them to roam the barn while shoeing horses. How does this affect liability coverage? Through Markel’s liability policy, farriers can bring their dog in the rig and allow them to enter the barn while the farrier works. However, if that dog causes any incident resulting in a claim, the farrier’s liability coverage is voided for that case.

Mother Nature is turning up the heat in some parts of the country, particularly in the Pacific Northwest where the heat dome continues to shatter temperature records.
Another product that can prevent stable flies from bothering a horse you are working on is the use of fly spray. Red Renchin shows a proper spray application technique.
Flies have tiny wings and as such can't handle high wind speeds. Fans are highly effective in deterring stable flies, with the added benefit of keeping yourself cool on the job.
As flies disrupt a horse while the farrier is at work, the tail can become a danger as it gets swished around. Red Renchin provides two options for maintaining control of the tail.
Red Renchin discusses the benefits of fans and misting systems in horse stalls to combat flies. The fans promote air circulation while the misting system emits fly spray intermittently.
In this episode, Mark Ellis, a Wisconsin farrier who learned the ropes with Renchin, recalls Red’s relationships with area veterinarians, his legacy and the second career as American Farriers Journal’s technical editor.
