Who has directly influenced your farrier career? If you’re just starting out, your list likely isn’t long. A little time and initiative will eventually fill the gaps.

Five individuals were honored for outstanding careers in hoof care during the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies at the 19th annual International Hoof-Care Summit.

When it comes to footcare work, there are probably more similarities than differences among top shoers from around the world.
