Tim Silcox (Cross Lake, Minn.)
My farrier of 5 horses is Great River, Tim. He has been doing my horses for a few years now. I feel Tim really goes above and beyond the basic farrier. Tim also continues his education by attending clinics and seminars around the U.S. Tim has a huge heart and loves horses, you can see that just by looking at him! And the horses absolutely love him! I have no problem calling Tim and asking questions. "What is this?" "How do I fix it?" "How do I prevent this from happening?"
Just recently, my barrel horse came up lame in the front. I immediately took video and sent it to Tim. He was about 45 minutes out and said to me, "I'm turning around, and I'm on my way." That means a lot to me being a client for years and him being almost 3 hours away from his home and family, just to come look at my horse. I appreciate everything he does! He wants every horse to be happy and comfortable! He also works hand-in-hand with veterinarians to get a plan in order. My horses and I have a lot of trust in Tim, and you don't find that in every farrier!
