Event to showcase Farriery
Farriers from all over the UK will come to Trinity Park on March 2nd and 3rd for our second CPD Training Day and Eastern Counties Spring Championship and the inaugural Farriers’ Ball.
Farriers will be able to see leading Dorset-based farrier Mr Reader-Smith AWCF showcase his general tool-making and maintenance skills as part of our continued commitment to and support for the farriery industry.
The Eastern Counties Spring Championship will see entrants competing in the hope of being awarded a silver or bronze medal from the Worshipful Company of Farriers, with cash prizes also on offer.
David Nunn, director of The Suffolk Show , said ‘In Spring last year we hosted our first highly successful Farriery Training Day and Spring Championships, at which over 60 apprentice and qualified farriers completed a very impressive 133 rounds of shoe-making.
‘This year we are delighted that participants will benefit from working in our newly extended Farriery building. Currently still under construction, the extended facility is on schedule to be completed for our big weekend in March and will double the size and capacity of the original structure.
‘We would like to say a huge thank you to AJN Steelstock of Bury St Edmunds for very generously donating the steel required for the farriery extension. We are also delighted that the event will be extended to include the Ball to bring the two days to a fun and celebratory close.’
