Winter Series Forging and Horseshoeing Clinics

Each winter, Morgan Equine hosts 2 day forging and horseshoeing clinics for Farriers. From beginning to advanced forging, each farrier employs a hands on approach to honing their skills. With 5 or 6 attendees per session, the quality and quantity of personal instruction is optimal. A friendly atmosphere that creates camaraderie has become an essential component that keeps Farriers coming back year after year.

We are pleased to have BOB MARSHALL, 5 time world champion blacksmith, as a host clinician. His resume is too long to list, and most know of his fame. He has produced the Optimum Farrier Performance Video Series: Advanced Forging Techniques, Basic Shoemaking, Basic Shoemaking II, Bar Shoe, Concave Shoemaking and Keg Shoe Modification. This is an opportunity not to be missed!

The 2008 program will consist of ONE Forging clinic and ONE Tool Making Clinic with Dallas W. Morgan CJF, Dip.WCF and ONE Bob Marshall Clinic.
