Just received an email from the loacal riding club saying that a farrier is touting for trade in our area. A Richard Duncan from Fife Does anyone know him or what he's like?

Great entertainment - but it's a shame you can so obviously see them pulling up to let the "winner" through!

Mountain Horse are great.

His name is Rudi Paret and he works in the Burgie area? Any information would be gratefully received. is web site is http://www.credo-web.co.uk/highland_farrier/
