Tim Puckett (Buffalo Gap, Va.)
Tim is an excellent farrier. That being said, I purchased an ornery mule that I didn't realize had a badly infected frog on the off side rear (and he kicked!). This mule needed help and wanted none of it! The vet attended the first 2 treatments and drugged him up. But he needed extensive treatment and we couldn't keep drugging him every time. Let me insert here that Tim moved almost 2 hours away. So he had EVERY excuse not to come back and deal with this mule. But he came back and worked with him regularly. The end result is I have a sound mule that is no longer upset about having his foot handled. Tim is a gentle, amazing farrier. I would definitely like to recognize him for always going above and beyond.
