![]() ![]() ![]() Candidates must prepare an original written thesis for consideration by a panel of senior WCF examiners, then deliver a lecture on a subject of their choosing with just 60 minutes preparation time they must also forge a corrective shoe from plain steel - this sounds extremely difficult, and perhaps explains the very small number of fellows - apparently just 175 since founding and just 31 today, per their wedbsite. Roger is however a Fellow of the Worshipful Company of Farriers, the most senior qualification that denotes a very high level of achievement, as the small number of Fellows (31) is testament to. Candidates sit a written exam, three oral examinations, a practical test requiring the fabrication of a shoe from plain steel and the correct fitting of two corrective shoes, along with a test in the use of modern materials to repair a damaged hoof. The next level of Associateship of the Worshipful Company of Farriers is particularly concerned with corrective farriery, and currently there are just 183 Associates in the UK. He explained there were three levels of qualification, the first being a Diploma, when newly qualified farriers have been judged by an eminent panel of examiners as competent to prepare a foot and, if required, to apply a shoe. Roger briefly explained his thoughts on the farrier trade, which he believed was a craft rather than a profession, as he believes many want to turn it into. As we anticipated, he enthralled our thirty plus audience with remarkable stories from his lifelong association with and passion for horses, all without reference to any notes or other aids, making it particularly difficult to write this review as I also took no notes! After the meeting, trustees all agreed that we should probably have recorded the talk as it reminded us in many ways of the interviews we conducted for the recent LW history project. Little Waldingfield History Society was absolutely delighted to welcome Roger Clark to the Parish Room last Wednesday night. Also, check out our review and our nomination for Red Dead Redemption 2 as the Best Open World Game of 2018. So that's how he was able to make the relationships between Arthur and his horses so believable!įor more from the cast of Red Dead Redemption 2, be sure to check out our exclusive interview with the game's stars. "I wouldn’t say I’m intimately familiar with them – er, that came out wrong – I wouldn’t say I’m an excellent horseman, but I know horses. I used to go and ride horses a lot in my teenage years, and I have done westerns on film before too, so I’ve worked with some excellent stunt horses and whatnot," Clark said. "I grew up in Ireland, and though I wouldn’t say I’m an excellent rider, I know what I’m doing. Much of his inspiration was drawn from his time around horses as a young man in Ireland, in fact. "I did not anticipate it to become one of the more popular lines, but I’m glad that it is, because I knew that the horse was going to be a massive companion for the player and your means of how you get to travel the world, so I thought Arthur would have a really close connection with this animal so I tried to portray that in the text," said Clark. Speaking further on his experience with lines written for communicating with the horse in-game, Clark noted that he never expected the popularity of the "You're alright, boy" line to become what it has. We don’t always get it right the first time." "Yeah, that’s a good girl,” he demonstrated in a lower tone that could easily be confused for another purpose when taken out of context. "We had to do it again, because the first time we did it we got the note back saying it was a little too erotic," Clark explained. If you've played Red Dead Redemption 2 before, you're no doubt familiar with the type of relationship you can form with your trusty horse.Īrthur Morgan and his horse are inextricably tied together for the duration of Red Dead Redemption 2, and as such we often hear Morgan saying little things to calm his equine companion here and there, usually "You're alright, boy," or "It's okay, girl." It's adorable, really, and people absolutely love it.īut as we learned in our recent interview with the stars of Red Dead Redemption 2, that line didn't come out perfectly when Arthur Morgan's actor Roger Clark went in the booth to record it.
