From horse-crazy kid to Certified Journeyman Farrier, Jennifer DePollo Horn's path into the trade wasn't exactly traditional - but it was meant to be. In this episode, Jennifer shares how an unexpected push from a high school teacher set her on a lifelong career in farriery, the challenges she faced along the way, and the mentors who helped shape her into the professional she is today.

We talk about the value of certification, the artistry behind the craft, her passion for blacksmithing, and the importance of giving back through teaching and mentorship within the farrier community.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

In this episode, I sit down with Sam Wolfenden, a farrier from Halifax, West Yorkshire, with 17 years in the trade. Sam shares his journey starting out under his father, working on everything from show horses to riding school horses, and how he unexpectedly found a second career on social media.

From hesitant first posts to millions of views on TikTok, Sam talks about consistency, staying authentic, and why kindness toward the horse always comes first. We also dive into balancing traditional farrier work with a growing digital presence—and the challenges and surprises that come with it.
