Ben is a farrier trainee at Waterfall Ranch and always has his anvil, tongs and hammer to hand. He checks and cleans the hooves before lighting the embers of the forge to prepare everything for shoeing. The horseshoes and horseshoe nails are customised for each animal. It's not always easy, but by the end of the day Ben has fitted Waterfall's horses with new shoes. His mustang stallion Achilles, who Ben tied to the paddock for shoeing, now trusts him blindly. Fun fact: Waterfall's previous farrier, who rarely visits the ranch due to his age, has left Achilles in Ben's care.
