Flying Anvil Foundation

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming to the school Jabbar Singh, the father of Motti Singh, who is currently working in Saudi Arabia. Jabbar was a Jamadar at the Nanoli Stud Farm for many years. It is always moving to reconnect with people with whom we have shared such good times in that farm, which has left a lasting impression on all of us. Baba Bernard

Notre dernier cours de 2025 est terminé, et les élèves sont en route pour rentrer chez eux. Encore une volée qui va se constituer une clientèle et mettre en pratique tout ce qu’ils ont retenu de cette formation. Quand on les voit se lancer avec seulement quelques mois de formation, nous, les enseignants, nous nous disons qu’ils n’ont pas froid aux yeux. En Europe, il serait impensable de se battre sur un marché beaucoup plus exigeant et critique envers les jeunes qui débutent. Nous leur souhaitons plein de succès, de la modestie et de se souvenir de l’enseignement qu’on leur a dispensé. Nous restons à vos côtés pour vous guider et vous aider lorsque vous en ressentirez le besoin. Merci à Frank Barboni khan Singh et Sandeep Shelar nos enseignants infatigables.

Engaging Course for Veterinarians

At FAFFID, we offer continuing education courses for equine veterinarians practicing in India. This recent session featured a diverse group, including two women from the mounted police, vets from stud farms, and others from various regions of the country. We were also joined by a passionate veterinarian from Morocco, who works part-time for an NGO and teaches farriery.

Our guest instructor was Dominique Lavorel, a veterinarian from France with 35 years of experience running his equine clinic in Annecy, near the Swiss border. He was sponsored for his trip by Werkman Shoe Company in Holland. The course focused on the study of lameness, including analysis, diagnosis, treatment, and farriery.

Over the course of four days, we received support from Epsilon Company in Jaipur, which provided an X-ray machine and a technician. This allowed us to conduct an engaging workshop that combined theoretical knowledge with practical experience, working with lame horses brought in from both our stables and other sources. We encountered a variety of interesting cases, and the fortunate horses received treatment and shoeing before returning home.

We plan to offer this course more frequently, as it presents a valuable opportunity for Indian veterinarians to continue learning from foreign experts.
