Upper Midwest Horseshoers' Association

What perfect timing, we came to the Feb. 17th, practice session and UMHA meeting and were pleasantly surprised that Bill O’Neil was demonstrating how to make a pritchel and hoof gouge. We had just stopped at Centaur on our way to the meeting and bought steel to make a pritchel. Lyle Stoner hosted at his shop where members were able to utilize his coal forge and equipment. Bill donated several pieces of round tool steel for members to practice making their own tools.

Thanks Bill, the session was very informative, we left with some great tips.
