American Farriers Team, Tim McPhee

[Box Forge]

The following was posted on facebook and I just wanted to pass it on and also find out if anyone has an update as per how he is doing.

According to American Farriers' Team Committee Chair, Roy Bloom, Tim fell down a flight of steps and injured himself rather severely: 40 stitches in his head, broken ribs, and a cracked vertebrae! The doctor will not allow him to fly, so he will not be going to England. Brian Nelson, AFT Alternate, will be taking Tim's place.

That's really unfortunate. He worked hard to make the team and to have it end like that is just wrong.

Best of luck to the Team and especially Brian.

Best of luck to Tim for a full recovery. He is a great farrier, and a really great guy. Good luck Tim!

I don't know Tim, but I know that to achieve the AFA Team, he did a lot of work, and now with the chance of going to England, Bummer.

Tim, we all are pulling for you.

While I feel for Tim and hope him a speedy recovery. OTOH,I have to give all my support to Brian, since he is one of us Idaho boys and a member of our local association, I can't help but give him a great big. GOOD LUCK BRIAN make us proud.
