Mike Randles is a well-known English farrier who I've known for many years. Mike and I were both watching our sons compete at the World Champion Blacksmith's competition at Spruce Meadows in Calgary in 2023, and I talked him into sitting down with me and telling me his story. Mike had produced the incredible forged anatomical leg model trophy that was presented at the World Championships this year, and it was just a beautiful sight to behold. He has a lot to say and you're going to like this interview. We are cleared for takeoff.

Welcome to Final Approach with Chris Gregory. I am a philomath, who is somebody who loves learn things. One of the things that I've learned is that everyone has a tale to tell and a lesson to teach. From pilots to farriers, to musicians, to authors, and creators. I'm going to explore my interests while introducing you to some amazing people. Pre-flight is complete and we have clearance, so let's kick the tires and start the fires.
