This is (was) Thyme's farrier and he is a FAB farrier. Instinctively sympathetic and quiet with horses and passionate about his job. I used and got rid of several others before I found him. (I am very picky about who works with my animals.) He was a teen tearaway (difficult background) made good by finding a vocation. Works very, very hard too and is very skilled. Of course I don't approve of drugs, but he didn't use drugs when working.... it makes it sound like he is an addict and it would have been affecting his work. But I have never seen any indication when he is working that he is under the influence of anything.
I think it's really sad. If he loses his career he'll go straight back to being jobless/lawless/future-less. And what good does that do anyone?
I don't understand why the FRC got involved in the first place? Why are problems/issues in his private life anything to do with them?
BTW I knew nothing about this before his arrest, and I wouldn't have used someone if I knew they had a history of drug misuse. But that's one of the reasons this is so sad - he won;t get any new customers because of this.
What do others think???
