Scenes From The Worshipful Company Of Farriers U.S. Exam
The Worshipful Company of Farriers (WCF) was organized in 1356 as the governing body over the practice of farriery in London. Evolving over centuries, the Company is regarded by many as stewards of the highest standards in horseshoeing, as manifested through its rigorous examination process.
In its illustrious history, the WCF has never held any examination outside of the United Kingdom. That changed this fall as the Company held an examination at the Heartland Horseshoeing School in Lamar, Mo.
Here are some images from this event.
