Thank you for your
interest in O.S.H.S. We hope that as you read through our Web Site, you'll see we provide
a number of extra services in order to give you the best education possible in the
horseshoeing profession.
Since the number of horses in the United States is greater now than in the days they were
used for transportation, the art of the good farrier is more in demand than at any time in
history.
Personal teaching by qualified instructors, Regan Kester - 23 years, Frank Dice - 23
years & David Goodman - 14 years, is, quite simply, the reason O.S.H.S. is ahead
of other farrier schools. Owner-Operator Reggie Kester is Journeyman Certified by the
American Farrier's Association; the only farrier school owner in Oklahoma to date to have
achieved this certification.
Reggie makes his special knowledge and experience available to his instructors and
students. He also runs six classes a year with a maximum of twenty-two students per class.
To provide the most intense, yet personable education possible for his students, Reggie
concentrates on one class at a time, not adding students continually as the weeks go by.
At O.S.H.S. our main objective is to teach the students basic horseshoeing which includes
the study of the horse's foot, shoeing the straight and sound horse, forge work,
how to keep records, and how to make a living being a shoer.
O.S.H.S. has a policy in which once a student has graduated from O.S.H.S., he or she may
return for a refresher course at no extra charge to the student. The student may stay for one day or for the entire class.

Much experience and research have made us realize that a six week course, five days a
week, is an ideal time in which to teach all types of normal, corrective and specialized
shoeing. The small class size allows additional instruction for the student that may be
thinking of specializing in a particular type of horseshoeing.
We put our name and reputation behind each student who leaves the forges at
O.S.H.S., so if you truly want a career in which you are the boss and are willing to
learn, we want YOU as a student. |
