Roy Wellman (Royse City, Texas)
I would like to recognize Roy Wellman for his 60-plus years as a farrier. His experience and knowledge isn't the best part. The best part is the time he spends with my 8-year-old daughter, teaching her how to care for her pony and how to be a better horsewoman. He is in his 80s and tells me all the time how he wishes he could live another 20 years to see how my daughter turns out. She lost her Papaw 2 years ago, and Mr. Wellman has made that void seem a little less big. He's always full of info, stories and compassion.
Here are a few photos I have of him with my daughter.
