A few weeks ago we asked our listeners for questions you wanted the answers to when we got the opportunity to sit down with a farrier - and now we have the answers!

**As always with any type of veterinary or farrier discussion please consult your personal experts for your cases as this is not a one-size-fits-all type of discussion**
This episode is a great conversation with Donna Hodges of Hodges Farms. They are the owner of the incredible mare "Jules" that we have been watching Hailey Kinsel win on this year and we are excited to share her story. The breeders and owners rarely get to tell their side of the story, and the Hodges' program has been a standout one for many years. We hope you enjoy!
