Stewart Coid DipWCF

In this episode, Stewart Coid DipWCF takes us through his journey into farriery, from growing up in Zimbabwe to building a career shoeing polo ponies and hunters in the UK.

Stewart shares insights into the demands of polo shoeing, how changes in the type of ponies have influenced shoeing techniques, and his thoughts on everything from modern tools and glue products to the importance of keeping traditional shoemaking skills in apprenticeships.

He also opens up about a serious back injury sustained in 2019 and offers some valuable advice for the next generation of farriers: pace yourself, save your money, and make sure you have accident insurance.

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