Joepaul Meyers (Gatesville, Texas)
I’d like to give a Texas-sized tribute to my farrier and husband, Joepaul Meyers, CJF. The day I met Joepaul, my life, as well as my horse Tripp's life, was truly blessed. Joepaul was asked by my previous farrier to provide advice and consult on his work with Tripp. Tripp was soon turned over to Joepaul, who was able to provide Tripp with comfort and the ability to perform again. We recently had to say goodbye to Tripp, but if it had not been for Joepaul's talent and ability, Tripp and I would not have been able to have the extended time we had together.
In the few years I have known Joepaul, although it seems a lifetime, I have seen first hand his uncanny ability to look at a horse or watch him walk and know what needs to be done. His knowledge of the equine digit and the anatomy of the horse is extensive and impressive. His experience and his love for the trade is beyond measure. Joepaul has dedicated his life serving the horses that are fortunate enough to be brought under his care and the horse owners who have reached out to him. Joepaul is a professional in every aspect of the word, he works hand in hand with veterinarians to provide the upmost care.
Joepaul possesses a true gift and 46 years of experience to back it up. From day one, when Joepaul has been asked why he continues his work, he always states, "I do it for the horses.” Joepaul is truly an amazing farrier and is deserving of the highest tribute. Thank you for making all the difference!
