The AFA chapters and their volunteers help carry out the mission of the American Farrier's Association which is to provide professional development, certification, leadership and resources for the benefit of the farrier industry and the welfare of the horse.  Each AFA chapter is managed by a tireless group of volunteers who coordinate certifications, contests, clinics, hammer-ins, forums and are passionate about building and serving the local farrier community.
