Life After Shoeing Horses

Ever wonder what a retired farrier does after they retire from shoeing horses? Some of us tap into our creative side. Not everyone just some of us.

“The power of imagination makes us infinite.” John Muir. It seems that every day someone is creating something new in the world of horseshoe art. Pinterest is full of pieces of horseshoe art. Maybe it isn’t really an art, but I like to think it is. Maybe it isn’t as elegant as an oil painting or a bronze sculpture, but it has its purpose. It does require skills and a certain amount of imagination. Being able to work metal in a forge and knowing how to weld are a must.

I make many different types of Christmas trees. These are 3 of them. We are only limited by our imagination. Crosses are very popular.

These two are the most popular, for me anyway.

Symbol of winter and the holidays.

Let us not forget about Halloween.

Then there are just those things people want.

I also get a lot of requests for signs.

The next photo isn’t horseshoe art but is quite popular.

Combination grill/fire pit.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed your visit.
