For the past few months, we have been asking horse owners and farriers worldwide to share their stories, pictures and videos with us for the 15th Annual National Farriers Week, celebrated this year from July 7 to 13.

We received many submissions over the past several months, and here you will find just a handful of the farriers whose pictures were sent to us during that time.

At American Farriers Journal, we want to extend our sincerest gratitude to farriers worldwide for all you do. From our personal experiences with you, to those we read about, you are truly a remarkable group of professionals.

Since we could not possibly fit every picture and story in print, we promised a special e-newsletter edition called the “Farriers Spotlight” in which we would display all of the submissions we received in honor of National Farriers Week. They will be available starting July 7.

Once again, thank you from all of us at American Farriers Journal!
