Farriery Tuition Webinar in aid of The Farriers Foundation

Description

A webinar via Zoom to raise some much needed funds for The Farriers Foundation. With each ticket you'll be able to participate live and also receive recoding that will be emailed to you to watch at any time.

Both Brad and Andrew will be giving a twenty minute presentation on a scientific study that each one has performed. They'll be explaining why they performed the study, their materials and methods used. They'll then be discussing the results they found and explain to us why their studies are relevant to farriery.

There'll then be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions on the presentations.

Andrew Bowyer AWCF Grad dip ELR- Measuring moisture content in keratinized structures of the foot in domesticated horses.

Andrew qualified in 2001 then spent 3 years travelling and shoeing over seas, before returning to his home county of Devon where he runs a mixed shoeing practice. 

 In 2006 he started working for 'British Equestrian' covering the podium potential para dressage squad and in 2016 took on the role of Team GBR farrier for dressage and jumping. Since then he has covered two world games, the Tokyo Olympics and 4 European Championships along with numerous nation cup tours.
