In 2012, American Farriers Journal started the “Farriers Spotlight” an online-exclusive compilation dedicated to showcasing many farriers throughout the industry. The farrier tributes featured here were either submitted by members of the equine community who want to express their gratitude to the farriers who care for their horses or farriers who want to thank their mentors for invaluable lessons.
