Doug Butler (Crawford, Neb.)

I would like to acknowledge and recognize Doug for his inspiration and guidance. I was able to have Doug spend some time at my home and forge in New York as well as being able to spend time at Doug's home and forge in Colorado. His mentoring, guidance, kindness, advise and willingness to share his knowledge allowed me to develop a focus and redirect my farrier career.
