Scott Collier obituary
The Virginia Horseshoers Association broke the sad news on Facebook announcing;
“I hesitated to post anything right away to give Scott’s wife a moment to process things, but this magnitude of loss in our industry is impossible to contain.
Understandably, the news is making its rounds on social media. Past VHA president of many years, and builder of absolutely the best anvils on the market, Scott Collier suddenly passed yesterday due to a tragic farm accident. Early in my career, I was fortunate to have been introduced to Scott and the VHA for continuing education and networking.
The impact of Scott Collier is all over my career. I can never pretend to ever fill the shoes of this man in our organization, but I’m forever grateful. In recent years, it’s just been my turn to serve and try to be that guy to someone else. Every day, many of us literally make our living on one of Scott’s creations. As you work, think of him and all the memories you have. I’ll see you again one day my friend.”
Another post from a close friend said;
“The cross on every Scott anvil wasn’t just a logo, it truly meant something to him,” wrote John Harshbarger, owner of Well-Shod in Amarillo, Texas. “We take great comfort in knowing that. A great man and promoter of our trade, he will be deeply missed.”
Another person close to the deceased shared;
Collier’s many contributions to the farrier industry were echoed by many.
“Scott was representative of the kind of person I found when I asked for help,” wrote Jason Usry, CJF, of Manakin Sabot, Va. “He was the guy, along with many others, that I refer to when I tell farriers about the acceptance, encouragement and help I found from the AFA guys when I finally decided to be a better farrier. He changed the industry with his anvils; at least they changed my career.”
Shane Westman, a Davis, Calif., farrier, perhaps said it best in a Facebook post on his business page.
“As his anvil falls silent, know that we all ring our in his memory.”
