>> I DO remember the young American who went to Iceland a couple of years ago, and came back calling himself a "master farrier" when it was well-known he'd never ridden a horse just a few months before
yes, he is married to an icelandic trainer, who was heavily promoting him. IMHO..it's takes more than a few months of training to call yourself a master farrier. really...a master of anything for that matter. in england, he would have been laughed at. there is takes years! to have the honor of calling yourself a master farrier. raven
