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:
Inflation hits 3-year low to 2.2%
Access to medical records for court cases can take 'a significant amount of time'
Peel to get second cash machine
Crop planting impacted by wettest April on record
Assisted dying: The witnesses' views
Bid to keep assisted dying services away from Manx Care defeated
