The Basic Horseshoeing Course is a two week course that provides a sound basic foundation of horseshoeing skills. It is designed for the person who plans to shoe part-time while maintaining his present employment or attending college.

The intent of this course is to teach you to shoe your own horses and perhaps build up a part-time clientele. Many graduates of the Basic Horseshoeing Course have built their clientele into a full-time business; however, we do not recommend this. If you want to be a professional horseshoer, we would like to have you in school for at least eight weeks – longer if possible.

For those of you who are on vacation from work, rest assured that upon successful completion of the two week course, you will have learned sound basic horseshoeing.

You may return to school to continue your education at any time.

Upon graduation from the Basic Horseshoeing Course, if you work at shoeing horses, you will be able to turn out the same high quality work you learned at school at the rate of one horse shod per hour within one month’s time.
