Thad established his own business there in 2000, building a reputation for excellent horse shoeing, punctual arrival, and great customer service. In 2010, after spending a year in Central America, where he communicated his zeal for hoof care, Thad relocated to Lexington, Ky. where he established TG Forge. He spent five years working under Dr. Bryan Fraley of Fraley Equine Podiatry, honing his skills in therapeutic shoeing.
