Culture Exchange Student Ed Beeston and Q&A with Troy Wood

Season 1 · Episode 72

Tuesday, April 8, 2025 • Duration 01:21:24

We recently asked you guys on the Forging Brains Facebook page if you had some questions you'd like for us to chat about on the podcast while we were planning on being at Troy Wood's shop. Just so happened that this years cultural exchange student, Ed Beeston was staying with Troy and happy to sit down with us for the recording as well. It was cool to hear what his journey has been like so far on his travels to the United States from England. Quite often we chat with guests that have previously been on the exchange in years prior but not necessarily when they're currently here on tour. So that was cool to hear from Ed about his experience so far.

Billy Lovell & Matt Magan- Friends From the Beginning There to Help Each Other Any Way Possible

Season 1 · Episode 68

Tuesday, February 4, 2025 • Duration 01:42:10

I've known these guys for over half my life now and if it wasn't for them, I probably wouldn't have a career as a farrier. Billy Lovell and I met in high school going to high school rodeos and then he encouraged me to take up the farrier program at Walla Walla Community College where we both took the class together. I met Matt Magan while I was in the farrier program as he graduated from there the year before and would come by the school regularly on his days off to hang out and get in the forge. These guys are hard working folks that you don't necessarily see in the lime light everyday on social media or anything but have been grinding away the past 15+ years successfully managing shoeing practices and going to a WCB here and there, as well as, our states contests we have too. Billy recently passed his Certified Journeyman Farrier certification this past year too and talked about how that experience was for him even after running a business all these years and if it was a hard adjustment for him. Matt is a second generation farrier, his father Paul Magan is a CJF that works for WSU farrier/veterinary program, inspired Matt into becoming a farrier and has had great success over the years. These are some of my best friends and I hope you guys enjoy listening to this episode!

Judging Our First World Championship Blacksmiths Contest!

Season 1 · Episode 66

Wednesday, December 18, 2024 • Duration 01:18:54

Riley and I were honored to be asked to judge a WCB event and took a lot of pride in trying to do the right thing to judge fair and honestly. In this episode we talked about our experience on how that event went for us to judge. Let me tell ya, it ain't as easy as you would think! There's a lot of shoes that get judged in three days as well as picking up a lot of horse's feet to be judged and scored too. Honestly we learned a lot from being on that side of the spectrum and can try to implement those things for the next contest we decide to enter. Hope you guys enjoyed this episode and let us know in the comments what you thought!

Ft Worth WCB Shoe List Tips n Details

Season 1 · Episode 65

Wednesday, November 27, 2024 • Duration 57:14

Ft Worth WCB is dang near here! Riley and Gavine are judging this year and figured we should add some insight about the shoes before people are on their way to the contest. We went over each shoe on this and laid out things we'd like to see with each class but ultimately it's going to come down to the basics of horseshoeing. If you have the basic elements in your jobs, then you'll do well. Look forward to seeing you all there and hope you have a happy Thanksgiving!

Chad Chance- Entrepreneur, Family Man, Farrier, Competitor, Auctioneer, Real Estate Agent, Man of Many Talents!

Season 1 · Episode 63

Wednesday, October 23, 2024 • Duration 01:37:42

Chad Chance is a man of many talents and is a great entrepreneur in our industry. It's safe to say that Chad paved the way for us here on Forging Brains Podcast in the sense of being one of the firsts in the farrier trade to publish content to the internet and YouTube. Through his channel, HoofWatch, Chad has provided so knowledge with the collaboration of Craig Trnka and the WCB and also Mustad with Grant Moon that initially gave me a lot of inspiration to become a better farrier and have the information readily available to watch at a click of a button. But aside from his media presence, Chad has ran a successful shoeing business for many years, shoeing top level horses in northeast Texas. He has accomplished being on the WCB Team and the American Farrier's Team multiple times through his years as a competitive farrier! But Chad hasn't stopped there, he's stepped out of his comfort zone to become an auctioneer and sell real estate as well. Just about anyone you ask in this trade will tell you how great of a person Chad Chance is and will help you in any way he possibly can if asked.
