Little about the Rasmussen's

Little about The Rasmussen's

Rene’ and Judith Emigrated to Australia in 1995, along with shipping container packed with Rene’s heirloom blacksmith’s tools, ready to start a new life in Australia.

Initially, Rene’ worked two jobs, as a resident blacksmith at Australia’s Wonderland, Penrith, and part time in Beaumont Street, Hamilton Blacksmith shop before its demolition, which was formerly owned by the late Trevor Hazel.

A small horseshoe nailed to the handle of a wooden toolbox is a treasured, sentimental reminder and another time and place in the life of Rene’ Rasmussen.

In his homeland Denmark, Rene’ being a farrier trained in orthopedic horseshoeing, was once appointed to the Danish Royal Stables to shoe all the Queen’s horses and artistic blacksmithing at some of the Queen's castle’s...

The particular horseshoe was from the first horse owned and ridden by Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, as a youngster. As Rene’ shoed this hose, the shoe is priceless keepsake of a future king who is today making world headlines with his Australian-born wife, Princess Mary.

The traditions of Blacksmith and iron artisan date back many generations in the Rasmussen family, back to 1784.

Rene’ still today uses many of the tools used more than 150 years ago in his specialized craft as a hand forger.

So it was little wonder that Rene followed his grandfather and uncles into the craft in 1969
