As we approach the 10th anniversary of Red Renchin’s passing, we are partnering with Life Data Labs to honor the former American Farriers Journal technical editor and International Horseshoeing Hall of Famer with a six-part podcast series. We sat down with Mark Ellis, a Wisconsin farrier who learned the ropes with Renchin and went on to enjoy a 38-year career in hoof care. In this episode, Ellis shares insights into Renchin’s business practices, how he managed conflicting hoof-care ideologies and Burney Chapman’s reintroduction of the heart-bar shoe.
