Farriers might be an independent lot, but like any other business, they get out of their profession what they put into it. This school is looking for quality, energetic individuals willing to earn the title Professional Horseshoer.

Author Doug Butler states in his book, "The Principles of Horseshoeing II":

"Perhaps one of the most optimistic and attractive features about the horseshoeing business is the fact that horses feet grow and change every 2 months or less."

"Opportunities in horseshoeing are unlimited. The horse industry is the fastest growing segment of the livestock business. Spectator attendance at horse-oriented sports is greater than any other. The rapid growth of pleasure and show horse numbers, horse clubs and sports business related to the horse industry, and equine research makes the farriers future very promising."

"Professional horseshoers, highly-skilled and competent, are always in demand. The day is coming when a horseshoer will be in business because he is the best and not because he is the only one available."

"There will always be room for a shoer who is competent and dependable. If you choose to enter the profession, decide to be that kind of horseshoer."
