Farrier help......is it wrong to go for one whose good looking??

Mines goodlooking and also does a v good job. Also very good with nervous horse who is scared of most men.

However if i had to find a new farrier, my first priority would be that he did a good job.
 
Dean used to shoe my old showjumper for around two years before I moved away to go to university. He is a fantastic farrier, all of the horses seem to get on with him well and he always did a good job. In fact, he still shoes my old mare now. I recommended him to the people that took her on loan and when they bought her last year they kept him on. He's very friendly and always on the end of the phone. I would definitely recommend him :)...and of course, there's no denying the fact that he's also nice to look at so...enjoy!
 
Brad Pitt shoes my horses and I listen to every conquest good bad and the ugly for the past 35 years, Brad likes bacon sarnies and ketchup, I diagnose all his health problems its great. I have 8 weekly repeat performances reciting the same story lines he is really believable and is nearly word perfect. But he is a good farrier too and my old boy sighs and listens patiently and usually falls asleep.
 
Mollie loves her farrier. He's a nice young man and, although she's a bit of a cow at picking her feet up for me, she hands them one after the other to him with a look of adoration. :mad:

While he's bent over doing her feet and I'm holding her, she has a habit of gently nuzzling his bottom. There was much sniggering when some of the teenage girls on the yard saw her doing this and I said, "Let's tell him it was the horse."
 
I couldn't care if they look like Golem on Speed. All I care about is the quality of the shoeing.

Hansome is as hansome does. A hunk who can't shoe properly is of no use to me.
