SHOEING THE SPORT HORSE
Mike Wharton, CJF, Farrier, Wellington, Fla.

HELPING RACE HORSES OVERCOME INTERFERENCE
Gary Gullo, Thoroughbred Race Horse Farrier, Colts Neck, N.J., and Ian McKinlay, Hoof Lameness Specialist, North East, Md.
Thoroughbred racehorse farrier Gary Gullo Jr. got his start shoeing under the guidance of his father, Gary Gullo Sr., highly respected racehorse trainer. South Amboy, N.J., racetrack farrier Ian McKinlaay learned horseshoeing from his father and was first paid for shoeing a horse back in the early 1970s. First shoeing Standardbreds, then track Thoroughbreds, McKinley earned a reputation as someone who could help get a horse (especially one with a quarter crack) back in competition. In the heyday of the Meadowlands, he would see about 20 crack cases each day. Today, his practice is devoted to tackling emergency cases and then turning the horse back to the primary farriers.

DAILY OBSTACLES OF SHOEING SPORT HORSES
Jan Krogh, Farrier, Aabenraa, Denmark,
Some may find it simple to trim and shoe sport horses. Yet, a circle of obstacles not directly related to the shoeing often appear — saddle, rider, trainer and footing — that can affect the foot and the horse’s overall well-being. Of course, there are many other non-farriery concerns. In this presentation, Aabenraa, Denmark, farrier Jan Krogh will discuss how these obstacles can hamper your ability to keep these athletes sound. He will offer his insight on how to respond on issues and how to react in difficult situations. Why You Shouldn’t Miss This: Get helpful advice on how to approach these obstacles as a farrier.

FOOTCARE FOR THE MULE
Chris Gregory, CJF, FWCF, Owner, Heartland Horseshoeing School, Lamar, Mo.

You’ll learn a few of the moves for shaping mule shoes, as well as gain a little understanding into the art of handling a mule.

WORKING WITH DRAFT HORSES
Mike Wildenstein, FWCF (Hons), CJF, APF, Sharon, Vt.
