Mike Chance will be the clinician.

Mike Chance from Reno Texas has been shoeing horses full-time since 1985. He is a memeber of the Oklahoma Farrier's Association and as chapter president in the past served as an AFA Board member for 8 years. He also served as OFA contst coordinator for six years.

He has a diversified practice, shoeing Western Pleasure, Cutting and Rodeo horses. Good basic horseshoeing is his goal. He believes successful farriers have several things in common; enthusiasm, positive attitude, and a thirst for knowledge as in clinics, certification and competition, and a willingness to share their experience and success with others. "Those that work diligently and give the most bring good fortune on themselves." He is looking forward to meeting you and having a great clinic.

The clinic will be put up on a large viewing screen to help everyone see what's going on. There is plenty of seating in a large tent so the clinic will go on rain or shine.

There will also be a number of vendors set up at the clinic and door prizes will be given away throughout the day!
