He is one of five farriers in the United States to have passed the Fellowship exam. Mike\'s clinics are renowned for the simple fact that he is able to package his love for horses and his understanding of farriery together with his superb teaching skills. He has worked with farriers of all levels and wants to see people help the horses they are working on today, and upgrade their skills or understanding of problems for the benefit of the horses they will work on tomorrow. This event will be in a casual setting where everyone has an opportunity to interact, if they want to, and where the cases are lined up so attendees have a combination of lectures and real-world applications.
