John Nisbet DipWCF Hosts Farriery Clinic In Association
With Mustad Hoof Care 29/04/09
Wednesday 29th April saw me host my first Farriery
event with a clinic for Farriers, Farriery Apprentices and Vets.
The clinic, which was in association with Mustad Hoof Care started
with registration then a small talk on Farriery CPD and its benefits
given by Mr Reg Howe, who, until recently headed the Farriery CPD
steering committee. This was then followed by a presentation
given by Mustad clinician and Farrier Chris Powell F.W.C.F, who also
lectures at the Warwick school of Farriery. The clinic was
attended by some ***** local Farriers, **** Apprentices and 1 Vet.
After a break for a BBQ Lunch the afternoon continued with a shoeing
demonstration which was also given by Chris. All in all it was
a good day enjoyed by all.
Some pictures of the day.
Arthur Cottam Winter Seminar 2009
19/01/09
Saturday 17th January and a 430am start to drive
the 230 miles to Arthur Cottams in Chesterfield (a major Horse shoe
manufacturer) for their 2009 winter seminar (as listed on the
January calendar page).
The gates opened at 830am and the seminar kicked of at 10am with one
of 2 talks given throughout the day by Gary Darlow AFCL on reducing
shoe loss on hunters. His first talk covered the fore feet and
the second the hind feet. Based on his own experiences over
the last 30 years of shoeing hunters his talk was accompanied by
slides showing how he fitted shoes to his hunting horses. Both
talks were followed by a question and answer sessions which were
open to the floor consisting of some 200 Farriers. Gary's
talks were followed by a talk from Steve Lloyd RSS, Senior Tutor at
Hereford School of Farriery. His talk covered changes in
Farriery over the last 30 years and the economic climate's possible
effects on the Farriery industry. Throughout the day there was
Tea, coffee and a barbequed food put on by Arthur Cottams and all
the staff they had in working on a Saturday to make the day
possible. The final part of the day was a hunter shoeing
demonstration given by Gary Darlow AFCL. Gary hand made all of
the shoes as he went talking us through the demo. Afterwards
we were all invited to have a look at his finished job. In all
it was a good day and worth the 7 hours driving!
Some pictures of the day.

Happy New Year 01/01/2009
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you
all a happy new year and hope you all have a good 2009. Lets
hope for a bit better weather this year!!
Price Changes to VAT in the UK
Effective from 01/12/08
As from 1st December 2008 the
Government dropped the rate of VAT to 15%. As the average
price of my services is of low monetary value the change on most
items and services would be pennies. As this is the case not
every item and/or service provided has been reduced. However,
I have lowered the cost of a standard set of shoes by £1 to £64.
This also brings a refit to £59. The site has been updated
today with the new prices. Copies of paper versions of the
price list are available on request. If you would like a copy
of the price list brochure sent to you then please email
info@correctivefarrier.com
giving your full name and address,
including post code. Alternatively, if you are an existing
client then you can get one from the van on my next visit.
Price Changes
Effective from 01/07/08
As from 1st July 2008 prices will unfortunately have to rise due
to the increasing costs of running the business. The prices of
steel, nails and delivery costs have spiralled over the last 6 months
to a point where I can no longer swallow the increase myself.
This is however the first price increase in 12 months. The
site has been updated today with the new prices. Copies of
paper versions of the price list are available on request. If
you would like a copy of the price list brochure sent to you then
please email
info@correctivefarrier.com
giving your full name and address,
including post code. Alternatively, if you are an existing
client then you can get one from the van on my next visit.
Jump Sponsorship At The Silverton Hunt
Pony Club One Day Event At Pontispool.
01/06/08
With a great number of entries the Silverton Hunt
branch of the Pony Club ran it's One Day Event (ODE) at Pontispool,
Taunton, Somerset.
As a local Event and being for my local Pony Club, of which my
daughter is a member sponsoring a jump was a must!

Although the weather was extremely warm it was a quite overcast
and there was a few small drizzles throughout the day. This
didn't stop any competitors from enjoying the good going and
certainly didn't make the cross country course deteriorate although
studs on the wet grass were a must.
As well as sponsoring jump number 3 (pictured above) I was also
attending the ODE as duty Farrier. As far as this went I
enjoyed a nice quiet day!
The Gallery. Photos
added 24/05/08
Pay the Gallery a visit to see some photos of
shoes and on-going cases I'm working on.
More photos will be added soon so keep a look out!
Important Information
Always remember, all Farriers need Tea or Coffee.
At least one cup per visit (biscuits & cake are optional).
This will make your Farrier, a happy Farrier!
I'll have a Tea, white, 2 sugars
please!
