In this casual format, attendees can watch demonstrations that are most interesting to them including new techniques in forging, training, and learning new exercises to keep your back in shape while shoeing. Sunday will be a full day of lectures by knowledgeable speakers including our special guests Dr. Meike van Heel and Bob Pethick.
