I’m so excited to make my way back to the Cincinnati area to attend the 2026 International Hoof-Care Summit this coming Feb. 3-6. Will I see you there?

If I’m being honest, it’s been too long. I’m looking forward to seeing all of you — all the familiar faces who've been with us since the beginning and all the new faces who are now making their mark. This Summit has grown into something even more powerful than our team first dreamed of 23 years ago.

Recently, I was chatting with a farrier friend, and they used an analogy that really stuck with me: “filling up the gas tank.” It’s such a simple, perfect way to think about your hoof-care practice.

After all, your daily work can’t run on fumes. You need a constant, steady supply of fresh ideas, innovative strategies, and new connections to keep your business strong and thriving.

The 2026 Summit is exactly where dedicated professionals like you come to refuel. It's your Continuing Education “Gas Station.”

The International Hoof-Care Summit is where hardworking, ROI-seeking hoof-care professionals come to refill their tanks.

• Battle-worn farriers build knowledge, strength, and calibrate their thinking against the best in the industry.
• Younger farriers can gain years of thought process understanding in just a few days, getting away to truly “level up” their career.

And here’s the best part: You are not alone. Yes, the job has its challenges, but there are countless proven solutions discovered by those who have been there and are willing to share their experiences. The return on investment you get from attending is truly immeasurable.

For over 2 decades, attendees tell us the same thing: this event sharpens you, encourages you and challenges you. Every year, new ideas are discovered, tested, and put into practice immediately. Check out the 8-page program to learn more about the speakers and sessions.

You’ll hear it. You’ll witness it. You’ll experience it. You’ll leave saying, “I can’t believe I almost missed this unique, unrivaled, one-of-a-kind educational experience.”

Don’t let your hoof-care practice run on fumes in 2026. Fill your tank. Rekindle your fire. Renew old friendships and make new ones.
