For the 13th consecutive year, American Farriers Journal is sponsoring National Farriers Week, July 10-16, 2011. We encouraged horse owners and all other members of the equine community to recognize the dedication and hard work that farriers display 365 days a year. We asked them to acknowledge the important role that hoof-care professionals play in the health of their horses.
It’s no accident that National Farriers Week occurs during the second week of July each year. This is often the busiest season for many farriers. That’s when their dedication and professionalism are most evident, but it’s also the time they could most use a little recognition and reinforcement from clients.
“Being a farrier goes far beyond normal hoof care,” said Frank Lessiter, editor and publisher of American Farriers Journal. “Through National Farriers Week, we want to remind the equine community — especially horse owners — that horseshoers do so much more than normal trimmings and shoeing, all while sacrificing their bodies, often in less-than-ideal circumstances.”
In anticipation of National Farriers Week, the AFJ staff has posted a certificate for National Farriers Week that horse owners can download and personalize for their farriers at: http://www.americanfarriers.com/file_open.php?id=149
We at American Farriers Journal express our appreciation and gratitude to all of you. Our staff members return from any interaction with the hoof-care community amazed at the quality of work, the depth of thought, and the genuineness of farriers. We’re honored to promote another National Farriers Week.
