Farrier – Professional, S.C.


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs of Study

Students are prepared to pass the American Farrier’s Association Certified Farrier test, demonstrating the knowledge and skill in farrier science to shoe horses professionally. Students acquire knowledge in equine anatomy and physiology, gait and lameness problems, approaches to equine balance, and the ways conformation relates to soundness and movement. Classroom time is complemented with significant time at the forge. Horses are provided so students have ample hands-on experience. Students become skilled in making corrective and therapeutic shoes as well as standard shoeing. This curriculum would fit well with the Farrier Business Management Associate of Applied Science degree program.
