A few photos from Jim's weekend competing in France at the European Farriers Associations 3 day shoeing competition. 6 apprentices from England travelled over to sur-Roudon in Central France to compete. He took part in four rounds of shoe making competitions and attended educational lectures over the 3 days. Coming 1st in one round and 3rd in another meant Jim was placed 3rd overall in his category out of 20 apprentices from all over Europe. Jim commented "It was a great experience and I learnt a lot from it."

Thank you Edward for the photo today.

We will be trying this soon as part of Jim's training, once I have found the appropriate wash off paint !!
