This episode comes out one week after the HoofCare Summit in Cincinnati, Ohio was held.  I spent all four days there and it was great getting to catch up with old friends and meeting new ones. This episode, however, was recorded at Spruce Meadows in Calgary, Alberta, during the Blacksmith World Championships.

Alex was there with a couple of his fellow countrymen from Switzerland, competing as individuals for the title of World Champion. I had just met Alex the year before at Stoneleigh, competing with those same individuals as a team.  As you will hear, Alex is no stranger to North America and has spent some time here visiting with other farriers. 

His easy and outgoing nature seems to help him make friends everywhere he goes, including even famous ones like Hank Chisholm and his wife Stephanie, who just returned from a vacation out there, hosted by Alex and his fellow teammates.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
