The 22nd annual International Hoof-Care Summit (IHCS) will be January 21-24, 2025 in Kansas City, Missouri! The new Kansas City (KC) location is necessary due to its previous site, Cincinnati’s Duke Energy Center, closing while undergoing a 2-year renovation project beginning next year.
Why Kansas City? During the site selection process last year, our team surveyed past Summit attendees and American Farriers Journal subscribers. Out of 9 locations in consideration, Kansas City was a top-rated location!
In my 12 years working with American Farriers Journal, I can't express how thrilling it is to have IHCS hosted in a new city, let alone Kansas City! The overall reaction we've received to the new location has been a welcomed one with much excitement!
As we continue in our third decade, our goal is to continue to help you expand your hoof-care education through the 4-day focused educational program featuring general sessions, classroom sessions, roundtable sessions and "how-to" hoof-care product knowledge clinics. We are also planning to incorporate the well-received NEW wet lab sessions from last year, too! Promising to deliver hours upon hours of field-tested footcare ideas gleaned from successful farriers, equine veterinarians and hoof researchers from around the world, attendees will learn...

- Dozens of Valuable Tips to Improve Your Work

- The World's Largest Hoof-Care Products Trade Show

Join us as we gallop toward hoof-care excellence, forging connections, sharing knowledge and celebrating the passion that unites us all.
