Notre deuxième groupe de l’année est composé de maréchaux déjà un peu expérimentés. Ce qui est intéressant, c’est qu’ils ont de l’expérience, mais qu’ils n’avaient jamais appris les concepts de base de la maréchalerie. C’est ce que nous essayons de leur enseigner, et les progrès se mesurent de jour en jour.

Ils savent faire certaines corrections, mais ils ne comprennent pas toujours pourquoi ! Ils apprennent, découvrent et la profession change de visage. Bravo les gars ! L’école vous apporte des réponses, et c’est ce à quoi nous sommes dévoués.

It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my dear friend, Professor Mohammed Ouassat, from Rabat, Morocco. I had the joy of sharing many wonderful moments by his side as the exceptional teacher he was. His passionate interest in farriery brought our paths together, and I am deeply grateful to him for that.

His humanism and kindness toward often underprivileged individuals have always been a beautiful lesson in camaraderie for me. We met in many countries during conferences and courses we taught together in Morocco, where his laughter shone and sometimes lightened even the most serious moments.

I learned a great deal from Mohammed, and I realized how big his heart was and what a natural talent he had for teaching. I was fortunate to have him as a friend, and I will always remember his generosity, his smile, and everything I owe him.
