Annual Meeting

Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2021

We will be hosting the Fairfax4Horses Annual Meeting via Zoom this year, and we look forward to having you join us on Tuesday, February 23rd at 7 p.m.

We will hear about equestrian activities at Turner Farm, Frying Pan, and Laurel Hill.

Following the presentations, an open discussion time will provide a forum in which participants can bring up issues of concern, events of interest to equestrians, and ways of supporting the presence of horses in Fairfax County.

The Zoom link and an agenda will be sent out later, but please save the date on your calendar.

All About Hooves

Our featured speaker at the 2019 Annual Meeting was Matt Evans, a farrier who discussed how to maintain hoof health. Matt, owner of Steelworks Inc., which is located in Lorton, emphasized the importance of keeping hooves clean (he recommends a wire brush and Oxyclean). He said that nutrition is a key component in hoof health, and noted that being overweight puts a strain on a horse’s feet. Matt touched upon many other topics in this enjoyable and informative presentation.
