  • Are you passionate about hoof anatomy, foot balance or the application of science in farriery? 
  • Would you like to explore (perhaps debate) the relationship between barefoot and farriery? 
  • Could you gain a better understanding of relationships with clients? 
  • Or perhaps you would like to work with clients to provide a safer working environment for everyone? 

Throughout the day the marketplace will showcase the best products on offer for the hoofcare professional. Live demonstrations will provide practical solutions to every day issues and the BFBA Home International farriery competition will provide exciting viewing in hotly contested classes between some of the UK’s most competitive farriers. On site catering and refreshments will provide an interactive social area to catch up with friends and colleagues, and provide a great chance for additional networking. 

Craig D’Arcy, President of the BFBA, is “delighted to be hosting this event once more and we are looking forward to welcoming farriers, apprentices, vets, equine professionals and hoofcare enthusiasts to the Blackdown Halls. We are fortunate to have a superb line-up of speakers and the trade show looks outstanding. It is definitely not a weekend to be missed!”
