Charged by the overwhelming response from last year's Simon Curtis Clinic in Victoria, J C Milton again invited another world respected educator to conduct clinics for the Australian farrier. We were fortunate to have David Gully FWCF, who has dedicated his life-long career to the training of farriers and the welfare of the profession, to make his first trip halfway around the world from England to Australia.

A successful world competitor and an esteemed international judge, David is specially recognized for his talent for training apprentices, who themselves become highly regarded professional farriers and competitors. At aged 65, David continues to run a full-time farrier business and train apprentices with rigor and passion. It is from these qualities that the clinic participants found most refreshing, useful and of value to their everyday work. Techniques, whether for competition or for everyday work, that farriers had

struggled for years, became natural and simple after David's insightful demonstration and explanation.

A trip of his lifetime, David was awed by the Australian landscape and hospitality. Back now in England, David vows to build an extension to his house so he can welcome all his new found friends from here.

J C Milton appreciates the farriers' attendance to the clinics. At the same time, we would like to thank Tim Peel and Mike Hew of the Scone TAFE College, for providing the venue and their assistance, which supports J C Milton's purpose to support and facilitate the farrier, through accessibility of product, experience and knowledge, in advancing the industry towards a widely regarded professional industry.
