Pig hoof trimming apprenticeship!
Donation protected
Hello everyone! For those of you whom may not know me and my dream, let me fill you in! My name is Cassandra Wood and I’m currently living in Wichita, Kansas working as a CNA. I own a cute little home in the city with my own little Funny Farm I have 2 beautiful dogs(Daisy & Ellie), 2 adorable mini pigs(Milo & Otis), a rabbit(Benny), a blue tongue skink(Rex), a tarantula(Sylvie), and last but not least a scorpion(Remi). They are my children! Ever since owning my first pig over 6 years ago I have always been interested in caring for these little guys for a living. So with that being said, I finally have come upon the opportunity to start a pig hoof trimming apprenticeship within the next couple weeks!! I am beyond excited and grateful for this opportunity. During this apprenticeship I will have the opportunity to travel with Emily Mohring, one of the best farriers in the US! She specializes in pigs specifically and has had a spot open up on her team that she is extending to me! I have 3 trips that I have to plan for during this apprenticeship. During each trip I have to pay for my flight/drive, hotel and food. As well as buying all my tools that I will need for the job. This is literally my dream come true I have my first trip covered and possibly my second; however my second and third trip are back to back making it nearly impossible for me to come up with the money for my flight, hotel and tools. I have to have my tools purchased by my second trip which is September 30th-October 3rd. Then turn around and leave October 5th-15th for a trip in CA. ANYTHING HELPS!!!! I’ll place a list of the tools needing to be purchased below as well.
- Nanuk 935 waterproof carry-on hard case with foam insert($200)
- Small/medium size tool bag($25)
- 12 GE Easy nippers($300)
- Dremel 8220(2)($100 each)
- Dremel lite($100)
- Jorgensen tusk wire(2) and handles($80)
Feel free to add me on Facebook and send me a message if you have any questions or would like to reach out for anything! I really appreciate everyone for their time and support ❤️
