Our story: From the ashes to the anvil

At Selby’s Farrier Service, LLC, our business is built on a foundation of transformation, dedication, and deep-rooted purpose. Founder Dakota Selby is openly proud of his journey, viewing his career as a farrier as a divine calling born from personal redemption. He uses the phrase "from the ashes to the anvil" to describe his life—a powerful reminder that just as raw iron must endure the intense heat of the forge to become something strong and useful, the heavy trials of his past were the exact fire God used to reshape his heart and guide him toward a life of honest, intentional hard work.
