Count down to my diploma

From now I'm 9 months away from my diploma and will be aiming now to make at least one pair of shoes a day on site for the horse. So I will post as many pics on here as I can so start the thread for you all to see, already done a few this past week, but will do more starting this week with photos

you do a great job, Alex. you will be a great asset in the this great trade of ours.
you will do great on getting your Dip.
I will be praying for you to do pass with flying colors and get all straight "A" 's
you have a great dad and great farrier to whom you will learn so much from.
Take care, and very much good luck to you!!!!!!...................Linda

Linda you need to be making shoes aswell every day 20 mins a pair or better

Linda you see the standard you have to be at in alex work to pass the dip

Yes, and I can do it..............have a lot of confidence in myself. If I set my mind to it; it will be done.

get working on your "system " Alex , it should be second nature to you when you get there , sit down , write it down and do not stray from it , things will fall into place and everything becomes so much clearer and easier

hey alex you will be great on the practical just do what you do everyday with your dad. How is the theory going? Do you want me to come down one of the days over winter for a practice run on written exam and the oral exam?

I don't think you have to worry about passing Alex
when your doing it every day ,its just another day (good work)

its the people that are not doing it every day
will find it hard to reach out for a big job on the day

Thanks smitty, just got to make sure all areas have been covered.

Yeh that might be an idea Marc, will let you know

Done a hunter today, did use some machine mades, but was working on trim, fit, nail and finish. I did make and fit a pair of quarter clipped fronts to a hunter today, but forgot to take some photos

You've let this lapse a bit, Alex...

Well see to it that he has a proper flogging, then.

Lucky bugger!
