Event Description:
Join the International Association of Professional Farriers (IAPF) and Missouri Forget-Me-Not Horse Rescue & Sanctuary for the Fall Farrier Expo, taking place October 3–5, 2025. Sponsored by Glue-U Adhesives and Werkman Hoofcare, this three-day educational event brings together farriers, veterinarians, and equine professionals for a dynamic lineup of presentations, live demonstrations, and hands-on workshops.
Kick off Friday afternoon with a series of engaging one-hour presentations featuring industry experts covering topics from shoe modification credentials to GluShu applications and veterinary insights.
Saturday is Demonstration Day, where you'll observe live demos including advanced shoeing techniques, glue-on technology, and collaborative vet-farrier care approaches—plus an interactive lunch break for networking.
Sunday wraps up with small group, 30 minute hands-on sessions rotating through specialized stations for in-depth learning and practical skill-building with each presenter.
Whether you're looking to expand your technical knowledge or connect with professionals in the field, the Fall Farrier Expo offers valuable continuing education in a supportive and collaborative environment.

A DVM/Farrier/Owner Team provides an equine case in need of podiatry-related ideas. The examinations, radiography and dinner are gratis; the owner makes their own financial arrangement with their farrier. The meeting is from 6 PM to 9PM. While everyone is settling in & getting some food and drink there is a general topic of discussion for farriers and veterinarians’ joint interest. For example, on 10/19/2023 the presentation and discussion was on considerations for shoeing for landing versus loading.,
Then, the horse’s owner, veterinarian and farrier provide a medical history. The group will observe the horse in motion in the aisle, arena and/or driveway. Next the group does a podiatry examination followed by Dr. Radkin doing podiatry radiographs for the group to discuss. Then a trimming and possible shoeing plan is discussed. The consensus plan approved by the owner and the owner’s farrier is then accomplished by the owner’s farrier. Follow-up radiographs will be discussed. There will be one case each evening. The end time is no later than 9PM.
The goal is to see how farriers and equine practitioners work together on a particular case that can then translate to other cases.
