Remembering Red Renchin: Part 1

American Farriers Journal Podcast

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 details how he started working for Renchin, why the Hall of Famer preferred hiring inexperienced workers and how he managed apprentices.
