84 - Mitch Taylor & Gavin Moody in Türkiye

Aug 12th, 2025 3:00 PM

I recorded this podcast with Mitch Taylor and Gavin Moody in Türkiye while we had a little road trip to celebrate the end of the first exams at the farrier school they worked hard together to set up with the Turkish Jockey Club. We discuss exactly how do you teach farriery to a group of men who mostly do not speak English and have never worked with horses before, and in particular, how to you do it well and see the great results that they have.
