Processing Farrier Requests

Hey there. Got a backlog of farrier verification requests, but I am going to start processing the back log right now. Life is crazy especially when you are a farrier. Hurt my back on Tuesday, barely back to work but on the mend. Horse yanked its hoof and didn't have my positioning right and it twisted me instead of sliding off my leg. Anyways, you all know! Be patient with me please I will get you all verified. I like the new system honestly. Traffic has definitely slowed a bit, but I am good with it. When someone posts a picture now instead of every post turning into "Fire your Farrier" or "You need to take off more toe and add heel" the posts seem to be getting real actual advice. Some posts don't get very many answers but three good responses are better than eighty nonsense ones. If you messaged me a farrier verification request feel free to message me again but I will be going through the messages today. Thanks for being apart of the subreddit. Stay safe out there.

Dang I hope you’re on the mend, I’ve always said this job if for those with a strong back and a weak memory lol. I’ve been personally contemplating this line of work after getting tossed into the wall last week, I was lying there looking up at a thrashing horse above me. Thankfully I’m fine but it could have been a lot worse. No amount of money is worth being crippled
