Farrier finds fitting niche turning horseshoeing into a full-time business
Matthew Pederson, 37, a Worthington native and Minnesota National Guard veteran, built a client list over 100 as Minnesota River Area Farrier. He works full time at a Montevideo lumber yard and tends hooves in evenings and weekends, traveling up to an hour or more from his Watson area farm. Pederson trained at the Minnesota School of Horseshoeing and credits Workforce Center guidance and veteran assistance for costs. He notes the job’s physical demands and emphasizes patient handling of horses and the support of local farmers.
