Richard Seals is a British showjumping U.K level 3 coach, British showjumping para coach, British showjumping pony club accredited coach, the list goes on ....

When Mark first met Richard most of Richards horses were shod with steel shoes but then through no direct intention all have ended up un-shod and competing up to international level barefoot.

Alongside this fascinating part of Richards journey is the focus Richard has on personal development, alongside the development of those he coaches and here enters the synergy of the conversation between Richard and Matthew who, as a hotelier, is also very involved in furthering his managerial skills while supporting the team surrounding him.

This is a fascinating twirl of a conversation which we hope you will both enjoy and pluck something useful from.

So please pull up a chair or keep your eyes on the road and let's dive in.

Our most gritty podcast to date by far, Matthew Jackson and Mark Johnson tackle the emotive and divisive subject of what can almost also be described as a dictatorship emerging within barefoot hoof care.

With some incredulous claims and absolute statements, intermingling with actually some, very good advice.
Matthew and Mark share their thoughts and opinions on how the Cult are utilising social media to influence and gain momentum.

For once this podcast does contain some "MODERATE LANGUAGE" only driven by their mutual passion for the equine world and the special place as farriers they occupy.

So, please pull up a chair or keep your eyes on the road and we hope at the very least, you'll find this podcast thought provoking.

This was a great journey down memory lane, where Matthew asks Mark to delve back into the time when via Parelli natural horsemanship, Mark visited an amazing farrier called Jim Crew across the pond from us and gain an insight into his "Healthy Stride" concept of shoeing horses.

All our personal experiences will influence us one way or another, so pull up a chair or keep your eyes on the road and we hope you find this episode both entertaining and informative
