    David, it will be an honour to the Moroccan farriers to have a gentleman like you in their ranks.

    Yes , I would like to know also. First French'i was '96 in the shop during the Olympics. Dressage horse came into the shop with both heels of the rear off the mats; an Italiano team horse. They wanted thy french farrier to make a difference. Two patten bar shoes.
    2000, Compiegne, an hour or so from Normandy, team farrier for France showed me around the city and the National Stud Farm. He also fed me, after a long day at the race, goose pate'....the Burl-ea' was excellent

    One year in the RDS Dublin horse show
    the swiss team Farrier asked us to shoe the Swiss team horses
    as his tools had not arrived
    no problem he would sort us out at the end of the week he did a runner
    we shod all the swiss horses:mad:
