Horse tram season underway for 2024
A newly qualified farrier has told Manx Radio he ‘jumped at the chance’ of completing his training on Island.
Luke Collison has undertaken a four-year ‘on the job apprenticeship’ with the Douglas Bay Horse Tram Service.
He’s responsible for looking after the horses' hoofs – a profession which combines blacksmith and veterinary skills.
Luke, who was on-hand as the horse tram season got underway last week, told Manx Radio the training was something he’s always wanted to do:
Police not aware of 'risks or threats' to General Election candidates
Extension sought for Westmoreland Village scheme
Farmers call for better visibility of Manx produce in supermarkets
Commissioners planning to buy 30 'affordable homes' on new development
