Cody and I made a trip to England and Ireland, and it gave me the chance to spend some time with a lot of old friends and make some new ones.

They hosted a day of Cody's clinic, showcasing organizing and hospitality skills that are off the charts. Theirs is an inspirational story and we had a lot of fun together.

Timmy and Elin were two of the four farrier educators from the Lerums Vuxenutbildning school in Sweden that came to the Heartland to see how we teach our students to shoe horses.
