🔔Notice:
A Northern Nevada Farrier & provisional AFA tester Tyler Mitchell, CJF of Western States Farrier Services was recently involved in an awful head-on collision that left him with a long list of injuries, including a very serious back injury. We’ve heard he will be facing several surgeries & a long road to recovery, he has a wife & two young boys that will be taking the journey with him.
We will attach his Venmo below if anyone feels led to give, but please keep him & his family in your prayers 🙏🏼
