I'm back up and running! This is the new truck. Having a second truck in this line of work is something important I overlooked. My Dodge is still sitting with a blown engine. It's getting taken apart, documented, and notes on all the improperly installed components that Make It Mine Custom Engines tried to install correctly. I have the Dodge at Lone Star Diesel in Sherman, TX. Hands down, one of the best I've worked with since owning diesels. His attention to detail, knowledge, and communication are second to none. Call Jacob at Lone Star Diesel. You won't regret it.

UPDATE: After my truck’s engine failure, I did my research and chose Make It Mine Custom Engines, owned by Dave Cruttenden, to install a new engine. At first, I was excited, but that excitement quickly turned to a nightmare. Dave lost parts, which he refused to acknowledge, and charged me for stock replacements from old cores, including parts he tried to repair with JB Weld. When I got the truck back, I noticed major issues—faulty head gasket, water pump failure, and coolant contamination in the fuel. Dave agreed to take it back for warranty work but made no progress, claiming his team was demotivated by my accusations of dishonesty. I clarified that my concerns were about lost parts and the fact that I never got proper measurements to ensure the right head gasket was installed, especially since a new head was being used. Dave refused to work on my truck until I came to his shop and confronted him in person, knowing full well that I had no other vehicle. The lost parts were later found in the bed of Dave’s truck. After a week and a half of him refusing to give me an estimated completion date, I showed up to check on my truck and collect some things. Dave tried to deny me access, claiming he wasn’t there, but he was there. He called me into his office and used the opportunity to berate me, even threatening to punch me. When I asked for a completion date, Dave said two days, but it ended up taking almost another week. I had to show up at the shop just to find my truck done, without a word from him.

I also paid for installation and parts for a cam, lifters, valves, and springs, as well as a full long block. Since I paid for these parts and their installation, I expected to get the parts removed from my engine or a discount if I didn’t take them. Dave took the parts and never offered compensation. Upon receiving the truck back the second time, the head gasket blew on day one because the head studs were installed wrong. Silicone sealant was used on the exhaust manifold, and it wasn’t long before the engine started knocking, destroying a cylinder, the new injectors, the CP3 pump, and all my fuel lines. When I contacted Dave, he didn’t respond for over two weeks. Eventually, I messaged him through one of his new Facebook Marketplace ads, and his response was just a thumbs-up emoji.

Now, I’m left with a blown engine, $10,500 down the drain, plus an additional $5,000 in parts that have to be replaced. Dave refuses to honor his warranty. Now I’m left with teginf to difure out how I am going to fix this motor or buy a truck so I cann get back to doingg what I love as soon as possible.

I apologize to any clients for the delays—I’ve lost a lot of business and am now almost starting over. If you could leave a review for Make It Mine Engines on Google, it might help me gain some leverage. Thanks to everyone who’s been patient and stuck with me. It won’t be forgotten.

Running a business like this is stressful. We tend to not be the most organized type of people but manage to rotate through different jobs all in one day. We act as owner, clerk, customer service rep, book keeper, mechanic, representative of our business, Accounting department…ect. Still we manage to shoe every horse with 100 percent of our effort. Past few months have been a rollercoaster! After dealing with truck reliability issues and a month of downtime due to piston damage, I was lucky I didn’t have reliability issues when I first started shoeing. Thank you to the clients that were patient with me.

Feelings of Excitement , exhaustion. stress, and frustration as Wednesday approaches and my truck will be finished. Just 4 days and the Farrier Carrier will be at a barn near you with a brand new engine! 🔧✨back and better than new since many parts needed replacing. With a Fleece fuel sending unit,Hamilton cam, heavy-duty springs, heavy-duty pushrods, heavy-duty lifters, 30% overstock fuel injectors, a fast fuel system, oversized pistons, S and B intake and head studs.

I can’t wait to get it back on the road! Here’s to hoping for no more reliability issues so I can take more accounts without the stress of uncertainty with my truck.

Great Thanks to all of my friends that helped me while it was down. Special thanks to John George, and Tristan Seivers, for trusting me with your truck. Without people like this in our lives being a farrier would be a much harder career that I think wouldn’t be possible without them.

Driving a friend's truck or car is always a privilege, but being asked to shoe their horses indicates an exceptionally high level of trust.
Someday I’ll let John, and Tristan drive my truck. 😇

🌟 Time to Share More! 🌟

I've realized I need to be better about posting on social media, so here I am! I want to take a moment to share some pictures from my recent trip to Minnesota. Unfortunately, I forgot to snap photos of the horses we worked with, but there will be more opportunities!

On a personal note, I'm excited to share that I've been offered a flattering opportunity to take over when Roger retires. This is especially meaningful to me, as Roger was my farrier when I was training horses and one of the most influential reasons I got into this trade.

I often wonder if I would have discovered my passion without his support and patience in answering all my annoying questions as a client seven years ago. Whether or not this new opportunity is feasible, I feel a sense of poetic closure, a sense of pride, and I'm grateful for the journey so far. 🌟 A Tribute to Roger 🌟

I wanted to take a moment to shine a light on Roger, who has been shoeing longer than I've been alive! Believe it or not, he's in his late 60s, and none of his clients would guess it! He founded Sommersong Forge, where he’s crafted everything from farrier toolboxes to some of the most intricate and durable farrier trailers. I can confidently say that many of the trailers he sold are still on the road today!

As farriers, we don’t often hear “good job” or “thank you.” More often, we only hear from clients when there’s an issue. That’s why as farriers we truly appreciate the few clients who recognize our dedication to the trade. Roger is one of those rare gems who deserves much more recognition than a single Facebook post could ever convey.

🐴❤️

Looking forward to sharing more in the future! 🐴❤️

I Would have liked more shoe in the back. COF moved forward off the crushed heels. The transformations are one of the best parts of being a farrier.

I was recently was contacted for a large amount of horses needing care. Despite being warned by other industry professionals and my initial reservations, I decided to take them on. I feel due to circumstance a response to some of the issues/ allegations is inevitable:
1. The claim that a horse sat in crossties for five hours did occur, but only on two occasions and due to circumstances of being the new farrier taking on an account of that magnitude and conditions of health, pasture, and health if the hoofs throughout the barn.
2. I did not receive any list approving what order to work on horses, leading to delays in attending to the next horse. Which was never organized with employees of the barn, so getting the next horse to work on was difficult at best.
3. The conditions under which the horses were kept were problematic - deep mud, uneven ground, and access to a muddy pond. Including horses not being separated during turnout that rough house or paired with pasture friends that they don’t rough house with.
4. I was informed of an increase in feed prices with a decrease in quality, and improper storage of grain and hay. Leading me to believe the change was about profit not to benefit horse health.
5. Every horse I worked on had unhealthy hooves except for those whose owners provided and brought their own grain.
6. Two helpers who accompanied me attested to the poor hoof health observed at the barn. One of which didn’t want to even attempt at putting a shoe on one of these horses due to lack of healthy hoof and thin walls.
7. Issues like pulled shoes required additional work, which I often did at no extra charge.
I encountered several challenges during my time there, and made a slow process of getting through so many horses needing care. I always aimed to provide the best care for the horses. I stated that they would have to be done spread out in portions so they don’t all come due again all at once if they where to stay on my books.

"I also want to raise awareness about the concerning practices at the barn, where horses are severely underdeveloped for the levels at which they are being asked to perform. The poor nutrition, overworking, and lack of consideration for their physical well-being is greatly distressing.

For instance, one of many specific case stands out where a horse was subjected to five jumping lessons in a day without breaks, showcasing a lack of muscle development and physical conditioning. I observed instances where horses exhibited lameness and pain. Showing exaggerated pain reactions to palpation. To my surprise and confusion the trainer dismissed these concerns. Later I learned the horse in question was to jump at a show the next day, attesting to the trainer/owner prioritizing show success/ and attendance for profit over the welfare of the animals.
I remember vividly a horse showing signs of extreme discomfort, almost dropping to the ground when palpated on his rump. Exhibiting abnormal movement patterns, lameness, and yet the trainer stated “he’s not lame”. Also rationalized these issues by emphasizing past show wins as validation of the horse's soundness. This dismissive attitude towards the health and comfort of the horses is alarming.
I discovered that the trainer's focus was on profit due to so many clients recently becoming aware and worried about the care they received. At expense of horses well-being and comfort any mention of discomfort or lameness was swiftly hushed or bullied out if existence by the trainer in my opinion due to financial implications. This pattern of neglect has persisted over time, as evidenced by viral negative online attention without prompting any change or improvement in the care provided to the client horses.
It is crucial to prioritize the welfare and safety of these animals above all else, ensuring that they are not pushed beyond their physical capabilities and receive the proper care and attention they deserve."

Upon receiving a significant number of horses from the barn owner/trainer, an agreement was reached for a 20% discount on her personal equines. However, revisions to the discount became necessary due to fluctuations in the number of horses requiring attention due to a large drop in horses due to another farrier doing a large portion of the horses to “help me catch up” without a phone call to see if I needed the help, or if I would still honor the 20 percent discount if the amount of horses changed to less than 2/3 of original number of horses. Dispite still honoring a discount in favor of the owner/trainer, misunderstandings and allegations ensued. Notably, allegations surfaced regarding billing for three horses, despite them getting work done and being witnessed by a client. I was accused of not doing them and billing for it. Additionally, incidents of delayed payments and direct accusations of unethical billing practices persisted, leading to a strained atmosphere.
Moreover, concerning events emerged regarding potential compromises to the well-being of the horses in the barns care.

Furthermore, a horse that underwent shoeing in my absence exhibited soreness the very next morning and missed subsequent lessons. examination didn’t take place untill 4+ days later and identified three hot nails in the corresponding hoof, revealing a serious oversight in care. Especially when other employees voiced concern for the horse.
As a dedicated farrier, my utmost priority lies in safeguarding the welfare of the horses above all else. I maintain an unyielding commitment to ensuring that no horse suffers for the sake of financial considerations. The apparent influence of profit margins on the tolerable levels of discomfort these horses endure to uphold appearances for lessons, competitions, or potential sales is distressing. I know what good show barns and proper development looks like, and I’m very impressed and proud to work for those that achieve both. I understand they are high level athletes and soreness is inevitable, and it’s our job as farriers to ensure our best work for future comfort. It is not however my job to lie to my clients about a horse being in pain to pad the pockets of unethical caretakers. I did everything in attempt to work as part of a team and provide top quality care to these animals. I did not receive any effort in that category whatsoever.

Let us unite in championing the ethical and responsible treatment of all equines. Our collective objective must consistently revolve around guaranteeing the health, contentment, and well-being of these remarkable animals. Through enhanced transparency, effective communication, teamwork and a shared resolve to uphold equine welfare standards, we can cultivate an environment where each horse receives the exemplar care they rightly deserve. 🐾 🐾
