In the heart of the country and in the heart of horse country, the American Farrier’s Association maintains its headquarters at the National Horse Center on the grounds of the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. Nearly one million equine enthusiasts visit the facility each year, and all are welcome to visit our offices and tour the working farrier shop.
