Farewell for master farrier

OVER decades he had used it to forge his reputation as one of the country’s leading farriers.

So it was only fitting Tipperary horse-shoeing expert Ted Channon should be waked by family and friends for two nights in the forge where he had equipped so many horses over the years, since he established the business in 1955.

And what better support for the master farrier’s coffin during the vigil than two sturdy anvils.
