    No one on here from Missouri shoeing? Here's the deal , I'm hanging up my chaps and moving out there . Shoulder out when several times this year and I'm just to dam old to be propatualy healing. However I can't see myself not staying in it on some level. I love shapeing iron and horse flesh but all good things must come to a end . Maybe I can find some young fool who could use a old water head to drink his refreshments and hold down the passenger seat. Anny way still looking for information.

    Do you know Chris Gregory? I'm pretty sure he has a handle on opportunities and open areas in Missouri. There are a zillion horses in Missouri, but my guess would be that you would want to be a good ways from one of the schools in the area. They do get a lot, maybe most, of the backyard horses because of price and availability.

    Regards

    Rolla is far enough away from Ferguson, and gas is under two bucks in Missouri, with what you can do shoeing and fabricating, you'll do fine.
    Where do you live now Monty?
