Anyone planning on going to the 52nd AAEP convention in San Antonio?
I believe the dates are Decemeber 2-6th. Looks like they are planning a huge hoof related program not only for Vets, but designed to draw Farriers as well.

I am giving serious consideration to going. Anyone else?

Yes, I'm going. I'm in the process of finding someone to go with. If I can't find anyone than I'll just go by myself. It looks very interesting. Maybe I'll see you there?

I might be able to swing it if I plan it now?

Is there an itinerary posted somewhere outlining topics and speakers?

I'm going. I hope we can get together someplace besides the lecture hall.

Gentlemen I'm not going, but I do recall an Irish pub on the Riverwalk. Not sure if they serve the Jameson's or not. Might be a place to meet up, besides the lecture hall. ;)

Has anyone been to the AEEP in the past? The program looks great, although I have heard that farriers are not allowed full access to events (some round table discussions, some classroom lectures) even when paying the full rate.

perhaps by then I can save enough for the $80 steak AND the $20 potato that goes with it :D

Pat,

Really? Darn, because the tarsus series lectures look to be most interesting. Should we ask Fran if she knows about our access?

Looks pricey for us poor unwashed non-AFAer's, for only three days?

In San Antonio you can get more "messcan" food than you can eat for $10-20. And for a small fee I can arrange a designated driver and a van (my apprentice doesn't drink).

I have been assured that farriers have full access to everything at AEEP. It looks like a great program.

My wife and I are discussing our budget for education right now. Given the changes at the AFA I may change my plans for this year.
