All Clenched Up and Nearly Finished by Mick O'reardon

I sat in my interview intending to make decorative iron work after I left school and my future boss said; 'we also do one or two horses are you interested!' That was the beginning of my working life of fifty two years as a farrier instead of blacksmithing. I have amassed many amusing stories from the stables. I met some wonderful clients with one or two exceptions. A long the way I had the pleasure of meeting some amazing characters both animal and human. my life wasn't without its trials and tribulations but my love of my work carried me through.

My name is Mick O'Reardon and I was born in a little village called Lastingham on the edge of the North York Moors in February 1948. I lived with my grandparents until i was nine years old then my father who was in the RAF moved my mother sister and I into married quarters. After several postings we ended up in Leicestershire where I started my farrier life at the age of 16 in 1964. Shoeing horses became my life for the next 52 years.
