Henrik Rolin

A Living Legend

As our third judge, who will be judging our speed forging competition, we once again have the great pleasure of presenting a somewhat living legend; Henrik Rolin! Henrik was employed as a farrier at The Royal Danish Veterinary and Agricultural College in 1977, and retired back in 2015. Through the years, he has managed, with his solid professional background and astute insight into horses and their nature, to keep the farrier's craft alive.
