Welcome to Forge & Farrier, the online magazine created by Farriers...for Farriers

Competition Results
Results are now available for Bath &West,
the 'Swiss' Competition, Sledmere, South of England, East of England and the Three Counties.

Feel free to email to ask for individual scores - practise makes perfect!
Calendar
July 5th is the deadline for the Handmade Shoes (UK) Ltd Competition entries (space permitting) and
to confirm numbers for the Summer Ball - this year set to be the biggest yet! Do invite family and friends, the evening is one not to be missed!
The Welsh Team trials take place on 1st August and England's will be on the 17th July. This year's Internationals will include an Apprentice Competition.

World Championship Blacksmiths' Competition
Forge & Farrier are off to Calgary! We will keep you up to date with the latest news and development on the dedicated 'Calgary Blog' page!
Farriers Pages
Farriers Pages has been a part of Forge & Farrier for some time now and feedback from registered farriers acquiring new customers has been very good. However, we are now taking it one step further! Farriers Pages is soon to become a website in its own right. Marketed towards the horse owner and equine professional it will also provide a platform to promote UK farriers in general. We are delighted to have received an endorsement from both the Worshipful Company of Farriers and the National Association of Farriers Blacksmiths and Agricultural Engineers and will be working with all industry bodies including the British Horse Society and the British Equestrian Veterinary Association to ensure the website is a complete success. More details will follow but do email Claire for more information in the meantime.
Horse Health Magazine
We are delighted to be working with Horse Health Magazine to help expand their existing 'Forge' section. Forge & Farrier will be submitting editorial articles on a variety of topics over the forthcoming issues aimed at increasing communication and awareness with the equine professional. If you have any ideas for topics to be covered please do get in touch - this is a fantastic opportunity for farriers to be covered within a reputable equine publication.
