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:
New operator appointed to run Northern Civic Amenity Site
Old Castletown Road restrictions to be lifted ahead of schedule
MHK speaks out on social media abuse and online culture
Teddy's Trundle passes £30,000 mark
