American Farriers Convention
March, 2002

THE AFA TRADE SHOW BOOTHS ARE STILL OPEN -- but only here at hoofcare.com!

Farriers staggered up and down 10 aisles of booths, lugging samples of new tools, new shoes, new nails, new pads, new adhesives. Everyone was smiling -- vendors and farriers!

The security staff at Lexington's airport was busy checking bags for knives and nippers and hammers!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Hoofcare & Lameness booth to meet veteran farriers like Bob Skradzio, Danny Ward, and Bruce Daniels, as well as top equine therapist Mimi Porter, who was autographing copies of her book, The New Equine Sports Therapy.

Companies in bold below are Hoofcare & Lameness advertisers. Read their news, and if you click on the bold type, their web sites will open in a new window.

Exhibitors: If you would like to see your company's name in bold, with a live link to your web site, send an e-mail today to adsales@hoofcare.com  

Plan now to join us next year at the AFA Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah!
