Dave Whitaker (Saco, Maine)
Dave is an outstanding farrier in talent, character and compassion with 30-plus years of experience, trimming and shoeing at all levels. He always has the same emphasis on quality and caring. Dave always questions "why" and seeks the truth for the horse, and he is able to do great therapeutic work.
He has mentored and encouraged three female farriers to have their own businesses, and donated a lot of time and materials to a therapeutic riding center. A lot of horses, horse owners, farriers and vets are fortunate to have Dave as their friend. Well done, Dave.
