it's affected my normal everyday life too and my capacity to do anything normal even. Even down to holding a pencil because of the amoubt of dexterity loss I've had.
So if you're doing anything with horses please make sure you can get it treated. <3
For something serious it's not a amtter of if, it's a matter of when
farrier work in general is hard on the body and expensive to learn for a trade that realistically you cant do for as long as can be and you really dont make much doing it, i spend almost as much in millage and tools ect as i make in a year. if it hadnt been for a need to learn to do our horses when i was younger i would have gone a different route for work.
I'm mentioning this because I've been trying to get a pinched nerve in my neck fixed at some point. but it's severely impacted my life for the past 10 years and not in a good way. I lost my 20s to the miserable pain
I'm so broken after years of riding crazy horses and barn work etc.... so is the bf and his dad who are generational farriers. His dad is in his 60s though so he's made it a long while before being broken. Not everyone makes it that long.
Biggest struggle for everyone I know including myself personally is getting adequate healthare which you definitely want. Most employers don't offer and most equstrian jobs don't pay enough
then definitely go another route :) farrier work is hard work with zero thanks the clients are 90% of the time awful to work with i have like 5% of my clients that i actually enjoy
