O.S.H.S. uses a progress grading system wherein a student has a weekly score, and at the end of the course a three part test including a written, forge, and shoeing test is used. These grades will determine passing or failing (passing score is 75% out of a possible 100%). Upon successful completion of training in basic horseshoeing and basic forge work you will receive a diploma from O.S.H.S.

O.S.H.S. presents the students with their diploma at the end of the 29th day of class. A student then has the choice of leaving that day. If a student chooses to leave that day the 30th day is counted as an absent day. If a student has 3 unexcused absences that student is required to attend the 30th day. The reason O.S.H.S. has offered this choice to all students is the majority of the students have employment obligations and the extra day of travel time is a must.

TRANSFER OF CREDIT

Oklahoma State Horseshoeing School does not offer transfer credit from any other horseshoeing school. We are a vocational clock hour school and our methods of teaching are unique to the horseshoeing industry. Most of our instruction is done hands on completely on live animals. We have been instructing this way for 30 years. We are in an association with several other private horseshoeing schools and we know some about their curriculum and their teaching methods we do not agree with. Through trial and error over the past 30 years our program affords our students the best education in horseshoeing.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICY

Should a prolonged illness, accident, death of a family member or any other emergency situation arise that prevents the student from completing the six week session, arrangements can be made to withdraw and begin with another available class.
