ATTENTION FARRIERS! The MEFA Annual Rich Peterson Hammer-In is coming up on May 28 and will be at Pegasus Farm Equestrian Center, 7490 Edison Street NE, Hartville, OH 44632. The Hammer-In will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (lunch provided). Bring your rig, tools, and/or shoe building skills to our Hammer-In! It’s a fun time to connect with local farriers. Whether you shoe hot or cold, everyone is welcome! Sharing experiences with each other helps our trade learn and grow, as it’s easy to become isolated in this industry. Forging is allowed in the indoor arena. It’s all open discussion, so bring any questions and don’t be shy!
