Nigel Fennell

Nigel Fennell farriery competitor for many years has started hosting clinics on a small group one to one basis incorporating demonstrations and hands on opportunity's in many areas of shoemaking & forging disciplines.These clinics started in January 2009 and have been very popular for farriers wishing to improve their skills not only for personal ability & interest in farriery but for exam preparation as well as to gain experience & accumulate CPD points along the way.

Nigel believes with the CPD system now well underway it simply can not work unless there is some kind of infrastructure to support it and with even more constant pressures on farriers today than ever to sharpen their skills for the much better informed equine public it can only be a positive move to be at our best to for the most important customer of all, the horse.

Nigel's experience has included -
National Champion Medallist
National Industrial Blacksmithing Champion
European Show Champion Title
England Horse Shoeing Team (Home & Abroad)
World Champion Top Ten Calgary Canada
