To be held at the breeding farm of the owner of Horseshoes.com, April 14-15, 2012, on the banks of the beautiful San Gabriel river in Georgetown, Texas (just outside Austin).
We are so proud to be able to offer a first ever physical gathering and clinic just for our Horseshoes.com family. Horseshoes.com just completed it's ninth annual on-line Farrier & Hoofcare Resource Center Conference but now wants to do something the site has never had the resources to do before. We are going to host the first of what we hope will become a growing annual event, the 2012 FarrierFest.
This years event will consist of two days of clinics by Chris Gregory, CJF, FWCF and a chance to meet each other face to face!
Day one, Saturday April 14th, will be a open clinic with lectures in the morning covering all areas of farriery including anatomy, forging, standard and corrective farriery. Chris will also hold a question and answer session. Lunch will be provided. In the afternoon, Chris will be performing a forging demonstration. The cost of attending the Saturday session $25 advanced (pay by March 7) $35 by April 7 $45 walk ups. Includes lunch.
Day two, Sunday, April 15th, Chris will hold a hands-on forging clinic for attendees (you will need to bring your own forge and associated equipment). This will be an opportunity to improve your forging skills with instruction from one of the best in the world.The cost for this day will be $145 advanced (by March 7) $165 by April 7 $185 walk ups. Includes lunch.
Spouses are welcome to join us for $10 per day to cover lunches.
The FarrierFest has been approved for 6 American Association of Professional Farriers Continuing Education Credits for Day 1, Day 2 is yet to be evaluated.
