Jim Halverson
I really think Jim Halverson should have a tribute to his 40-plus years as a farrier, but mostly his huge part in advancing the industry into more modern times. His tools, bar shoes, hoof knife, and his great Ideas. He also built the best shoeing rigs.
He was a friend to all and was famous to the younger and up-and-coming farriers. He recently passed away in late February. After a day of shoeing Jim sat in his chair and had a heart attack.
He was my mentor and good friend, and he always said that this was the way he wanted to go, with hammer in hand. He will be missed by many.
