Even After 120 Years, This Rings True . . .
The following quote was written by William Hunting in 1885!
"The farrier has not been fairly treated by the public. His practical knowledge has been ignored, he has been instructed by amateurs in all sorts of theories, an coerced into carrying out practices for the untoward results of which he has been blamed. The natural consequence of al this has been that the art of farriery degenerated, and the farrier is forced into a position destructive to the self-respect of any craftsman. In no other trade do person entirely ignorant of the business presume to direct and dictate as to how work should be done.
No one presumes to instruct the watchmaker or bell-hanger as to the details of his craft, but the farrier has been compelled to take instructions from al sorts and conditions of men. Only in recent years has the man who shoes horses been allowed to know something of his calling since when, horseshoeing has improved."
Cowboy Wisdom
Don't let your yearnings get ahead of your earnings,
Never miss a good chance to shut up,
Never take down another man's fence,
Never drive black cattle in the dark,
The only good reason to ride a bull is to meet a nurse,
Make apologies not excuses,
Water and truth are freshest at their source,
Don't go in if you don't know the way out,
Brace your backbone and forget your wishbone,
If you climb in the saddle, be ready for the ride. . .
