Hee,Hee,i had a good roll model when i was younger:p I feel the need for a holiday,tell Jan to get the pies baked.I dont think the Cpd thing is bad really,it wont affect me as i have alway been to the seminars etc,but i do feel insulted into the fact they want us all to be part of it,yet have still not done anything about the barefoot trimmers.The registration act was brought about for animal(Equine) welfare so if anyone can tell me how letting just anyone pick up a set of tools without any proper,apprenticeship and start trimming horses feet is ok for animal welfare is a good thing then i would like to hear from them.We can get CPD points for buying Farriers magazines,so perhaps we should be awarded some for being on here:)

to be a success in any profession you must under take continuous training and education but i feel that in the uk you farriers are been pushedby certain individuals and governing bodies to follow certain paths.in my opinion there are to many senior tutors without genuine hands on experience working with and on real work and performance horses yet in a position to influence future professionals. i actually believe that practicing farriers should be re-examined every 5 years at there own expense but frc fees scapped.
pack your bikini the apple pies are baking
