This just in, related to the plight of Australian farriers in Queensland and New South Wales who are impacted by the Equine Influenza epidemic:
"Our heartfelt well wishes go out to the Australian equine community during this trying time. In order to help our fellow farriers and Australian members during this time, the AFA's Board of Directors has voted to waive registration fees for up to twenty Australian farriers choosing to attend the AFA's 2008 Annual Convention in Lexington, KY."
