Contest and Clinic

Saturday Oct. 17, 2009

 

 
The Southern New England Farriers Association held it's annual Fall Clinic and Competition at the Grapone Center in Concord, New Hampshire.
Saturday was a beautiful day although somewhat cold in the morning.
Clinician Roy Bloom CJF began the day with an interesting analysis of the "demonstration" horse by using a portable Lazer Level to show the alignment of the leg from the knee through the Cannon, Fetlock, Pastern and Hoof.
It was a very good method to show the twists and turns of the leg and hoof.
I would not recommend it for most shoeings on a regular basis as it could mean an extra hour with the horse. However it is a great idea if you you are working by the hour and can charge for the time.
Roy went on to trim the fronts on the horse and build a pair of shoes to fit.
He used keg shoes, well modified and fitted up.
It was an excellent demonstration of Horse/Hoof analysis from fact gathering to the finished job.
The Competion followed lunch and drew thirteen competitors from Novice through Open classes.
The Market Place was also well attended by several regional Farrier Suppliers and national manufacturers.
All in all it was a very good day.
