2024 4H Animal Crackers at Cornell

Megan Mix • May 29, 2024

It was an honor to be a presenter at this year’s 4H Animal Crackers event. I spoke with about 100 youth about my job as a farrier and made them some handmade shoes while we talked about forging and different types of shoes. What a blessing it was to meet so many bright and eager young people! Thanks to all who attended.
