Episode 16 - Andre Etmekdjian - Not just a farrier
Andre Etmekdjian came to the sport of show jumping as well as the trade of being a farrier as a young boy under the tutelage of his father in the USSR. His early competitions were as a member of the army. He landed in the United States in his late teens in the 1990's and has been continuing his journey of learning ever since. His determination and message of the importance of always being present with your horse is inspiring.
