Jimmy Petty is a Certified Farrier with the American Farrier Association and has been shoeing since 1990.
Jimmy's childhood was spent helping out in the barn at a very young age. He was a horseman before he was a farrier. His grandfather raised, trained and sold horses and taught Jimmy very early on that horsemanship was a very important part of shoeing, one often overlooked by a lot of farriers. Jimmy has rehabilitated countless numbers of abused and mishandled horses. He also learned a lot from helping his uncle, who was a graduate of Oklahoma farrier school. He started finishing feet for his uncle at the age of nine. He became a profesional camel trainer for Heritage USA by the age of 13.
He served his first apprenticeship outside the family under Bob Warner. Bob was a horse trainer and third generation calvery farrier. He worked for Bob 7 days a week, 45 hours a day shoeing and training horses.
Jimmy served a second apprenticeship under Barrick Keener. Barrick's specialty was shoeing on race tracks in Florida.
Jimmy is an NC Horseshoers Association member, American Farrier Association member and a Certified Farrier. He is constantly building his skillset by attending clinics and farrier's meetings.
