Meet Julia

Julia Walker CF is a full-time farrier based out of Minnesota, operating Gray Duck Forge & Farrier Service. She graduated from the Minnesota School of Horseshoeing in 2021, received the Rising Shoeing Star Award in 2024, and is currently working on passing her CJF exam. Julia substitute teaches at the MN School of Horseshoeing, and has been involved in tutoring for many years. She now makes review videos on YouTube for farriers who are studying for school or certification exams. She hopes you find the videos helpful, and wants to continue gathering and generating resources for farriers who are either just getting started in their careers or are pursuing higher levels of achievement.

In her free time, Julia enjoys working with her horse Tic Tac, blacksmithing, reading, and otherwise generally hiding from humanity.
