Speaker 2 (01:31):
I was in LA working in radio, and I would
always watch horse racing and being from Kentucky, like it's
just in our blood, and I really wanted more of
a challenge. And I was like thirty three at the time,
and I knew I wanted to work more with my
hands and outside, and I've always loved horses. So I
signed up for horse shoming school and Sacramento just to
see if I would like it, and loved it. So
(01:51):
I put in my two weeks notice in radio, and
so I started doing horseshooing.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
There's a full on school for Yeah, there's schools all over.

new pair of kicks.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
That's a smart horse. You have a seat. Let's try these.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah, so you assess their legs, the confirmation, how they look,
how they travel, that's going to tell you how to
trim the foot to make it level and comfortable for
the horse. And yeah, you're good. And I'll say I
couldn't hear anything. So then you depending on the discipline
of the horse or what it's doing. And sometimes some
need shoes, some don't. All the race horss need shoes
(02:37):
for traction and support. So uh, yeah, you you every
horse is different, every legs different, and you do tailor
it to that.
Speaker 3 (02:44):

essentially that's what you do. Wow, that's that's incredible.

any pressure.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You No, I find it really calming actually, Like it's
really there's something special to that to those horses, like
they're so you're you're like with royalty. It's kind of
nice feeling.
