I can organise a seminar to suit you on a range of topics e.g., the basic principles of farriery, shoeing for performance, equine lameness, or laminitis.
If you have a group that needs hands-on training, I can teach from trimming to shoeing for groups of 4 - 8 people. Larger groups can be catered for, but small groups get more hands-on and individual attention. Whatever your needs, I can tailor a seminar to suit you. Please see below for examples of previous seminars.
INSURANCE - Groups with insurance cover eg. Pony Clubs & Adult Riding Clubs are ideal.
If you choose to organise a seminar it can be promoted on this web-site free.
Contact me with your idea, and I will get back to you with a price that will include travel & accommodation (if necessary).
