THE COMPANY - The Flying Anvil Company LLC


Bernard Duvernay is delighted to share his new project with you ! 

My new project is the fruit of a lifetime of travels around the world including Asia, the Middle and Far East, Africa, Latin America in connection with my work. Over the years I have had some amazing experiences and met so many extraordinary people.  Today I feel the time is ripe to come to some conclusions about my experiences :

  • Farriery is developing very unequally in different parts of the world.
  • At the same time, equestrian sports and leisure activities are developing rapidly in many of the emerging countries.
  • Horses are being transported very widely, they are being bought and sold in different continents and their proper acclimatization can depend on the professional skill of the farrier.
  • Farriers need support  which will enable their know-how and understanding of modern techniques to be brought up to date.
  • In the West,  farriers have the means and the contacts they need to assist colleagues who find themselves working in isolated situations to keep abreast of developments in the craft.
  • In emerging countries modern materials and tools are often not available and can be excessively costly.

 

My mission in starting the FLYING ANVIL COMPANY has been to  help our farriery colleagues in the most remote locations,

Thanks to your support and  involvement, the project is coming to fruition.  A first and very tangible step will be the introduction of  the FLYING ANVIL COMPANY’s new range of hand-tempered farriery tools. Profits from their sale will provide a budget towards the Foundation for the provision of training in farriery.

In the different chapters within this site you will find full details
of the new Flying Anvil Fondation (FAF)

 


 

Globalization is unstoppable.
Let us create intelligent and sustainable globalization in the field of farriery,
which will benefit all the actors in the equine world !
