Jake Fivecoate CJF shares his experiences from the Edward Martin Cultural Exchange across Scandinavia and discusses his journey in the farriery profession.

In the final episode of 2025, I talk with Jake Fivecoate CJF , from Northern Colorado, who shares his experience taking part in the Edward Martin Cultural Exchange across Scandinavia . Jake talks about the application process, earning his journeyman certification, and what it was like working in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark . He reflects on adapting to different techniques and tools, winning a team shoeing contest in Denmark , and how the experience shaped both his skills and outlook on the profession. We also touch on his goal of keeping his business small to preserve the freedom to keep traveling and learning. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
