This free to attend, Scotch Bottom Shoeing Clinic, is being sponsored by Meader Supply as well as the clinicians who are donating their time. We are super excited to have an opportunity to present this clinic in the Northeast, as many of you know there are not always many draft learning opportunities up this way. This clinic will feature living shoeing.
We are very fortunate to have two very accomplished clinicians to introduce you to, Ron Pfeifer CF and Mark Lucas.
Ron Pfeifer CF has been a farrier for 29 years. For the last 15 years he has mainly focused upon shoeing long footed show horses. He lives in Vermillion, Ohio and drive and shows Draft horses as well as 8 horse Halfinger hitches. Ron has developed unique shoeing concepts for high stepping hitch horses by applying principles of long footed shoeing. Through his shoeing experience he has studied how toe weights, wedges, and leather padding affects the biomechanics of movement in these high stepping horses.
Mark Lucas started shoeing horses in 1973. Initially, he shoed standardbreds and thorobreds at farms and racetracks in Ohio. In 1976 he began shoeing drafts which lead to a long career shoeing drafts all across the country. Since the early 1990's Mark and his family have shown draft horses in halter and carriage classes. He has owned and operated a carriage business for the last 22 years participating in weddings, funerals, parades and many special events.
We do ask that anyone interested in attending please click the ticket link to secure seating. We plan to have this clinic be a smaller more intimate environment so everyone has a chance to get hands on and ask any questions they may have.
