There was a banquet held with a live aution to raise some funds for the Guild. All was great fun.

On the practical side of things we had a hoof trimming demonstration from Hank van der Post, Dave Schwartz and Kiyoshi Kamei on Show and Corrective Trimming. John Peeters from Holstein Canada was on hand and explained the different aspects of feet and leg scoring concerning classification. He also gave a demonstration on show trimming the old fashion way. All this was very informative.
