Jerry has been my farrier since I was a kid, so roughly 25 years?  I have a 23-yr old navicular mare that he has been able to keep sound, so she can enjoy her retirement days comfortably.  He has always worked around my crazy schedule & shown up on time. He's even shown up for "spur of the moment" when I needed him, if he can manage. He is very respectful yet bluntly truthful with any horse/hoof issues and he can about fix anything when it comes to a horse's hoof.  He is a great role model and an active church member that has a lot of great horse & hunting stories. He is even willing to teach you basic hoof care if you're willing to put in the efforts to do things yourself.  Jerry is the only one I let touch my horses' hooves; he is just THAT GOOD.
