Webinar recording with Brad Greenham and Andrew Bowyer

Description

THIS IS A RECORDING of a webinar via Zoom that raised some much needed funds for The Farriers Foundation and 'IS NOT LIVE'. 

Both Brad and Andrew give a twenty minute presentation on a scientific study that each has performed. They'll be explaining why they performed the study, their materials and methods used. They'll then be discussing the results they found and explain to us why their studies are relevant to farriery.

The audience then got to ask questions on the presentations and Brad and Andrew answered.
