About
the BWFA
The
BWFA is a non-profit organization. Our mission is to provide
horse owners with professional, intelligent, and accurate information
on sound shoeing by professional farriers. We promote certification
for farriers and strongly advise horse owners to seek out the
services of certified farriers. We are the largest farrier association
in the world, with farriers, horse owners, and those interested
in the safety of horses, shoeing, research, and farrier science
as our members.
