About our Front Cover...
from President Ralph Casey
From the time I became President of this association
I have probably been criticized more than any other farrier
in history. What keeps me going are the praises I also receive.
I am always looking for new ways and new things to
promote the farrier...page 2

Why Should I Join or Renew My Membership
in the BWFA? by Kelly Case
Through the BWFA I have gained access to an unlimited data base of knowledge, not just about shoeing but about running a profitable, professional business. I joined the BWFA at the start of the licensing and registration movement because the BWFA was the first and only organization to say "NO, you will not regulate or control my trade!"...... page 3
More Regulations? by Marcus J. Pierce
We can all be thankful that people like Ralph Casey fought hard to help keep the Government from taking over the Farriers with laws and regulations. A couple of years ago a few misguided farriers tried to get the government to take over our trade which would make us just like Great Britain and Germany. Well, we all can be glad they have failed so far.... page 3
