More Education Means More Quality Work, More Profit
The International Hoof-Care Summit is the perfect name for an event where farriers meet to enrich our profession, boost our knowledge and better our lives, along with the lives of the horses and owners we serve

Farrier Takeaways
- Be educated by the best hoof-care experts in the world by attending the International Hoof-Care Summit.
- Footcare price increases will be justified and profits will rise by investing in continuing education.
