SJM CUSTOM
Steve J. Morris
I began my Farrier career in 1984 after graduating from the Kemptville College of Agriculture, Ontario, Canada. From the beginning, I worked to further my professional development by working with my peers and attending clinics and workshops. I also continue my education in horsemanship, shoeing techniques for therapeutic and corrective applications through forging and shoe modifications for the well-being of the horse. My theory regarding shoeing is to shoe or trim the horse rather than just addressing the feet. I have had the good fortune to work with several excellent vetrenarians and other talented farriers in many therapeutic cases.
I attained my American Farriers Association Certified Farrier (AFA CF), and the American Farriers Association Certified Journeymen Farrier (AFA CJF) in 1986. In 1991 I was appointed as an American Farrier Association (AFA) Tester; and, in 2000 I was selected to become an Examiner by the AFA https://americanfarriers.org/
As an AFA Approved Examiner I am required to supervise the process of the Certifications and ensure that the standards of the program are maintained, as well as supervise the administration of all written and practical examinations at Certifications throughout North America.
My hobbies included training and riding reining horses at competitions in Ontario, Quebec and the USA
I also enjoy making various types of knives and straight razors forged from Damascus and high carbon tool steel as well as various blacksmith items for the household
Please have a look at these items. The pictures are of various pieces, a few are still available for purchase, custom orders are welcome.
