NEWS FROM THE ASSOCIATIONS

AUSTRALIA

AFBA

Hi Everyone,

 As you already know, 2020 in regards to hoof care events has been a bit of a non-event.

As we are all constantly updated on our state governments' restrictions, things can change from day to day. Information today can be tomorrow's misinformation. With that said, the AFBA is monitoring restrictions in regards to state and national farrier competitions. 

Agricultural shows and competitions throughout Australia and New Zealand have been either cancelled or postponed, thus forcing state Farrier events that rely on the running of these shows to host their competition. Hoof care professionals should keep informed through their own state AFBA affiliated association, as each state can differentiate in government conditions regarding Covid-19. With a bit of luck, competitions may remain open or be run at a later date!

As the National farrier and blacksmith association, we endeavour to support the hoof care events from state to state and also our affiliated members -the New Zealand farriers and blacksmiths association.

To continue to remain updated on industry events please follow the ‘Australian Farriers Blacksmiths association’ on Facebook. We look forward to representing Australasia and working together to promote and strengthen our industry.

Warm regards,

Jordon Hammond 

AFBA Secretary 

SAFA

Hey there from SA farrier and blacksmith association 

At this point, we are closed for clinics and meetings till all this covid19 is over. Our competition at the Adelaide show has been cancelled and we will be looking forward to planning still for next year With Pat shimanski as our judge from NZ. 

We hope everyone is coming through this safe and look forward to life resuming in the near future.

Regards

SA pres Chris Francis 

WAFA

The WAFA had been moving forward into 2020 in a very strong position, albeit a little bit of a halt
for the foreseeable future in the wake of the Great Lockdown. All of this year's plans are now in
hibernation and are delayed until further notice.

However, on the eve of the changing world, we had 5 of our members (Mic, Matt, Jason, Bryce and
myself) travel to compete at the WCB’s World Horseshoeing Classic at the Kentucky Horseshoeing
School in our respective teams. This was a truly enriching experience on all levels for all who were
there and it was fantastic to be able to put ourselves amongst such high-calibre personalities.

The WAFA has been planning a 2-3 day hands-on clinic with Tom Peterson from the USA for the
middle of the year but this is of course postponed and will be re-organised for next year.

Also, we are holding onto hope that we can still run our 2020 State Championships at
Gidgegannup in some capacity. However, this will of course be entirely dependant upon state
regulations in regards to travel bans and social distancing measures.

We have been working to have the competition follow a similar format as last years Team Trials but
with more opportunities for the Intermediate and Novice competitors to get involved.

Thanks, Josh Smailes

PFANSW

PFANSW is planning to host the National Farrier competition, which should be held on the 6/7/8 of November as part of Tamworth NCHA Futurity, with the possibility of starting on the 5th depending on the numbers.  The program should be out in early June and entries will close in early September.

This will be dependent on whether the NCHA Futurity goes ahead.

More updates to follow.

Thanks. Craig Etherden

NEW ZEALAND

NZFA

Hello All from the NZFA,

What a first quarter we have had in New Zealand. The weather has been brilliant for us but not so great for the farming community. The sunshine for us has meant the East Coast and other parts of the North Island still struggle with drought  and severe feed shortages, if you have clients that are affected by this please know that we are here to help them and their horses in any way can.

We then have all had to work through something in the last two months that we never would have imagined. With the government shutting the country down for 5 weeks and disrupting our normal work routine, I would just like to thank you all for how you responded to a testing time. Luckily for us, March meant the end of the busy show season with Horse of the Year in Hastings.

Race meetings will not resume for another couple of months which I know will be frustrating for those of you that rely on the work from trainers, we continue to support you and please ask for help from the association if you need it. We have funds and support available should you need it.

This week we have dropped back to Level 2 and things will hopefully be returning to normal. Hopefully, most of you are back to routine work and catching up.

I know that I’ll be making a few changes and enjoying life and family a bit more.

Keep safe everyone, see you when the borders open up.

Regards,

Jock Good
