Todd Allen (Pittsburgh, Pa.)
Todd Allen has been an inspiration to most farriers who know him. Within his farrier community he has been a leader for many years. His promotion and encouragement of the veterinarian-farrier relationship has helped set standards in the industry. Many years ago, Todd became a board member of the Northeast Association of Equine Practitioners (NEAEP). Todd demonstrated his leadership abilities on a national platform and helped to bridge the gap among many different professionals all working toward one common goal, the overall health of the equine. Todd served 3 years as a board member, accomplishing many goals and creating outreach programs to help educate more farriers about the value of quality education. Anyone who knows Todd has heard him boast about his affiliation with the NEAEP and anyone within his reach has felt the grasp of his hand to reel them in. With much appreciation and gratitude, we would like to recognize Todd Allen for all his efforts as a farrier, a team member, and a friend.
