About this episode

Jennifer DePollo Horn shares her unconventional journey to becoming a Certified Journeyman Farrier and discusses the importance of mentorship and certification in the trade.

From horse-crazy kid to Certified Journeyman Farrier, Jennifer DePollo Horn's path into the trade wasn't exactly traditional - but it was meant to be. In this episode, Jennifer shares how an unexpected push from a high school teacher set her on a lifelong career in farriery, the challenges she faced along the way, and the mentors who helped shape her into the professional she is today. We talk about the value of certification, the artistry behind the craft, her passion for blacksmithing, and the importance of giving back through teaching and mentorship within the farrier community. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. For access to the full length episode, subscribe here: mullinsfarrier.supercast.com
