We are excited to announce that the Rocky Mountain Farriers Association will be hosting an Injured Farrier Benefit fundraiser clinic. The RMFA exists to serve Colorado farriers and part of that mission includes a fund held in reserve to assist any of our members who may fall on hard times. We would like to grow that fund in order to better serve our members in the future. This clinic will directly support that goal.

The theme of the clinic is certification preparation. Mr. Brian Buckner, CJF will be joining us as an AFA examiner and he will be accompanied by several local AFA Testers. See the flyer below for full details.

We will also be hosting a raffle to help raise funds and for that we need your support. If you would like to donate an item to the raffle, please contact us and we would love to accept your donation. We are partnering with Oleo Acres Farrier & Blacksmith Supply, Inc. to sell raffle tickets. More details on how to buy tickets to come.

March 8 is right around the corner so we wanted to get the word out early so you can mark your calendars. We will be posting more details as we get them sorted out. In the meantime, feel free to approach us with any questions. Thank you!

I haven't written in a while. Some have asked why? Many issues have come up that would have been good to write about, yet I find myself in a position that I have lacked the time or the patience to be polite. I seem to want patience, yet I want it right now!

We live in troubled times. We have an election coming up that we should vote on candidates and Issues that affect us all in different ways. Urban people have different challenges than rural people. There are more Urban people than rural people so the vote carries more weight in those areas.

Each wants their own way of life. The convenience and availability in town appeals to many, especially our youth. The rural lifestyle gives others a purpose with our everyday life. We forgo many vacations and the latest greatest for a piece of equipment, feed for our livestock or the space to enjoy life in the way we want.

Both are important. Work done in town sometimes makes our jobs easier in the rural areas, the food and products we produce rurally sustain the lifestyle Urban people enjoy. This may explain why rural people aren't so excited about re-introducing predators to areas we graze livestock. It makes our job more difficult and dangerous.

I won't go on and on about how you should vote. That decision should be based on what is good for us all and not just our individual needs. The solution is a complexed one. Those who identify problems with no action haven't accomplished much. The problem presented itself without much of a search. Happy Sunday, Thanks, Pat.
