SPONSORS FOR 2009

The success of our Annual Convention clearly has to do with the nature of our community. We’ve got a community of wonderful people focused on excellent farriery, people committed to building on our tenets of education, communication, research, certification, and innovation.

But we’ve also got a sense of fellowship and community that shares and builds together. People who realize that all of this happens because of loyalty, volunteerism, and sponsorship.

We ask that you support and promote those who support and promote the AFA. Thank and patronize our AFA sponsors! And remember that it’s never too late to join our growing list of sponsors.
