I've been very blessed with the people that have come through my life. It was hard to step away from it. I miss the shoeing, but I still have the people.

There are only good people in this world. Sometimes good people do bad things, but thats ok, we forgive each other. Why? We are good people

I think the navy was trying to get one up on us and trying to get us as wet as possible; we were going straight into the waves. But it's a nice enough day that it's going to dry out.

I think what we are trying to do is build a sanctuary that is best going to serve the communities needs.

I do feel an obligation to my clients, to the horses and to the industry. I step back willingly, yet I really hope that I continue to have an influence on young people who want to shoe horses.

Everything I did was based off of my shoeing.
