Vermont Farriers Association has announced the clinician for their upcoming spring clinic will be Bob Pethick, Certified Journeyman Farrier of Bedminster Forge, NJ. Bob will be using his years of experience to help us evaluate and shoe horses better as well as using the ONTRACK Equine Software. Clinic date will be Saturday, March 26th, 2011 from 9 AM to 4 PM. The location this year will be the Eddy Farm School, 1815 South Street Extension, Middlebury, VT.

Bob will take digital pictures & videos in the morning, discuss what is seen in the horses & discuss any changes in shoeing then the horses will be shod. Horses will be re-photographed & videoed, Bob will then compile the information using power point for digital pictures & ONTRACK for gait analysis for an afternoon presentation.
