We had a great event and I can personally state that I am extremely humbled. The competition was great and Dusty Franklin did a superb job in my opinion. There was alot of talent there this weekend. I am personally convicted. As long as I have been shoeing, I should be much better in the forge. Events like this are so important to attend. I am going to practice practice practice. Thanks to Lee Crites for putting this together. I can't wait until the next one. I will post the place winners soon.
