Jim Blurton has trained over 30 top class apprentices and Dan Rabin is shaping up to become one of the best off the Blurton conveyer belt.

After showing early promise Dan entered the English apprentice team trials and was selected to represent England in the forthcoming home internationals in May.

 It is a huge achievement for Dan and he will have the full support of Jim and the whole team at Forden Farriers for his debut.
