Farriers work hard year-round to provide quality hoof care for horses worldwide. Although we hope appreciation is shown all year long, each year we set aside a week dedicated to honoring your work. The 22nd annual National Farriers Week, sponsored by American Farriers Journal, will take place from July 5-11, 2020.

Once again, we will be featuring “Farriers Spotlight,” an online compilation of farrier tributes submitted to us from across the industry. From now until July 1, you can encourage horse owners, grooms, trainers, etc., to submit pictures and videos of their farrier working with horses, and share why they appreciate their farrier. If you are a farrier making a difference in the industry, tell us about a mentor who has been meaningful in your career. You can also share a unique story of how you helped improve a horse’s life. To see past Farriers Spotlights, visit americanfarriers.com/spotlight.

We also will be accepting video submissions. Share a brief video telling us about a farrier or mentor who has made a difference in your career, or share your own career with us. We will be featuring your stories, and the stories others share with us, during National Farriers Week on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and AmericanFarriers.com.

Great or small, we want to hear everything farriers are doing to support the industry. You can submit your photos, videos and stories to Kristen Kubisiak through the form below. If you are having trouble viewing the form, click here.
