I am a member of a lot of farrier groups, and I love the discussions. Depending on the group, I often see a lot more encouragement and camaraderie. I honestly find this profession to be really supportive most of the time, despite disagreements!

A few days ago, in one of these groups, I saw a comment by Gary Gullo Jr. that stuck out to me and I wanted to share it, as it's been milling in my mind for the last few days.

"The horses that keep us up at night teach us the most."

I think most of us can pinpoint a horse that tests our knowledge and skill at every turn. Who hates everything we try or loves something one day and hates it the next. A horse that seems to have no rhyme or reason for what makes them comfortable. Or a horse that despite our best efforts, seems to be a "non-responder."

Those are the horses that we seek advice on, the ones that push us to go to clinics, attend webinars, read books, seek out a mentor, etc. Those are the horses who maybe we never quit "fix," but make us better for the next tough case that comes along. Those horses that try us every turn are the ones that refine our skills.

We may not thank them now, but hopefully we will be able to look back later and thank them for what they've taught us.

I know it's tough now, but keep going. You'll never regret looking for more ways to learn.
