💗 Introducing the Pink Apron Initiative💗

Years ago, Myron McLane and Billy Crothers, CJF both tragically lost their wives to breast cancer, nearly a year apart. While navigating their grief, the two friends sat down at a roundtable and asked, “What can we do to help?”

That conversation became the Pink Apron Charity, created to raise funds for breast cancer research. This October, the American Farriers Association is proud to revive the Pink Apron Initiative for a limited time in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

To kick it off, Mr. McLane has generously donated a pair of the Original Pink Apron to be raffled off! 💗

🎟️ $25 per raffle ticket
🎀 Proceeds benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation

Help us honor the women, support the cause, and carry the Pink Apron legacy forward.

Let Your AFA Membership Work for You! 🐴⚒️

Welding, fabricating, and shop work are a big part of our trade—and the cost of the gases and supplies you rely on are always adding up.

As material and operating costs continue to rise, the AFA is here to help members save where it matters. Through our member benefit with American Gas & Welding (AG&W), AFA members receive exclusive rates on mounted and unmounted tanks across the U.S.

It’s one more way your AFA membership is working for you—and helping you keep costs down while you keep your business moving forward. 💪

Great line up of speakers for our convention March 26!!

Would you look at that! 👀🔥

The speaker lineup for the 2027 AFA Convention is looking pretty outstanding!!

From world-class knowledge and experience to practical insight from some of the very best in the profession, this is already shaping up to be an incredible week of education, skill and connection.

For more than five decades, the AFA Convention has brought farriers together to learn, exchange ideas and move the profession forward - and that proud tradition continues in Mobile, Alabama, March 8 - 12, 2027.

Take a look at the lineup, start making plans and stay tuned - Convention registration is coming soon!

As Walt Taylor wrote about the future of the AFA Convention "The best is yet to come."

We think 2027 may prove him right!
