Ride Along With Dean Moshier
Dean Moshier, a farrier from Ostrander, Ohio, works out of a well-equipped PurdyBilt shoeing body. Since these photos, he had the body transferred to a new shoeing truck. Having a well-stocked truck turned out to be a major blessing when he and his wife lost their home in a lightning-caused fire in April. His tools and equipment were not in the house.
