Edward Martin

Edward Martin FWCF MBE passed away on 14th February 2009. In 1990 Edward visited Australia to present farriery and forging seminars. He travelled widely. Edward was a gentleman, unequalled in his trade. A fourth generation farrier and blacksmith, trained in a traditional style. He loved the Clydesdale horse and was a world authority on shoeing draught horses. Edward gave generously of his knowledge, he treated everyone with decency and had a unique philosophy. He was an inspiration to me. A humble person, who liked a scotch at the end of hard day. Edward Martin passed away at home in Scotland.

Hot shoeing offers many advantages for shoe shaping and fitting to the foot.				The principles of farriery are the same regardless of size or breed.

Mission statement

My goal as a farrier and veterinarian is to make the principles of farriery available to all horse associated persons in an easy to understand and accessible form. By doing this I intend to improve the overall standards of farriery for the benefit of horses, horse-owners, farriers and vets. Judith L Mulholland.

About Dr. Jude I was foaled in 1962 and brought up in Victoria where I learned to ride and had my first horse as a teenager. I left school just before turning 16 and I have pursued my passion for horses while working in the horse industry ever since. I had done a wide variety of equine work including mustering, droving, clipping, yearling preparation, stud work and racing before settling into farriery in my late 20's. I finished my apprenticeship at 33. Then, in my mid 30's I decided to return to school and put everything into becoming a veterinarian. I graduated 6 years later. Throughout this time I was supporting myself solely by farriery and since graduation the mix of farriery and veterinary has been very rewarding.	Judith Mulholland
The wide range of horses I have handled and the many jobs I have done and places where I have worked has enhanced my basic foundation of knowledge of horses. "The more I know, the more I know I don't know". I am learning every day. My goal is to pass what I am learning on to you for the benefit of your horses. I am currently working in equine practice in Australia and maintain a small number of farriery clients in several states. I travel widely to teach or assist horse owners with farriery issues whenever I can. I hope that I can  be of help to you.
Work. During the 2007 off season (Feb – July) I enjoyed 7 weeks of locum work in Victoria and Tasmania. I travelled to Arnham land to work in two indigenous communities with a remote area dog program. I have since joined both AMRRIC and VBB (Animal management in Regional and Remote Indigenous Communities and Vets Beyond Borders). These organisations do a great deal of good within Australia and overseas (VBB). I hope to work with them in 2007 and 2008. I then went to the Bain Fallon equine veterinary conference in Perth, Western Australia where I gained new knowledge on Cushing’s disease and equine metabolic syndrome. I stayed on for an extra week working for many clients from my Uni days. Back in Victoria for the equine stud season no one could have anticipated the Equine Influenza outbreak and the effect it would have on the industry. It has been devastating and at the time of writing Victoria was still EI free. I extend sympathy to those affected in NSW and QLD. I have decided to go it alone at last and I am currently setting up my own mobile veterinary business in Northern Victoria, Australia. I hope to visit some of the smaller communities within a few hours drive, that do not have a veterinarian, on a regular basis. I am still available for short-term veterinary locum work (< 4 weeks). I look forward to doing more teaching and running farriery seminars now that I will have more freedom and may now be contacted direct on my mobile phone (refer to contact me from home page). I still manage to visit my farriery clients and their horses around all this. Judith.
