Listen now

Description

As we go into the second month of isolation protocols, we wanted to bring our focus into what we can do as bodyworkers to look forward, towards when we can kickstart our practices full force once again. What better way then to start from the ground up!! Today we talk with Matt Humpage, owner and operator of Iron Force Farrier, who works closely with Coulee Equine and a number of their rehab cases. Matt has been involved with the farrier world basically his whole life as he is a third generation farrier. Our conversation crosses the border between farrier and bodywork worlds and reiterates the necessity to the a team approach and looking at the horse as a whole. You can connect with Matt through his Facebook page at Iron Force Farrier as well as through Energy Equine Veterinary Services. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
