Reggie Kester
Reggie is well known in the United States. He is one of the few school
owners that is a horseshoer as well as an instructor, now retired. He feels it is greatly
beneficial for the students to receive personal instruction on an every day basis.
Reggie at work.
At this time Reggie is the only Oklahoma school owner that has received the Journeyman
certification by the American Farrier's Association, which is the highest certification
available in the United States. He serves on the Board of Directors and is a very active
member of the Oklahoma Farrier's Association. He is a member of the American Farrier's
Association, the Texas Professional Farrier's Association, the Missouri Farrier's
Association, the Brotherhood of Working Farriers Association, and is the current President
of the American Farriers Education Council.
Reggie feels it is important to advance his knowledge by learning all the modern skills
and ideas by attending nationwide horseshoeing conventions, lectures and contests.
He has held numerous clinics at his school and has lectured to several different college
groups. He was invited by the United States Navy to instruct a group of Navy personnel in
the Philippines.
Reggie believes the most important contribution he has made to the horse world is the
variety of special handmade shoes and braces he has fitted to horses during the years.
This work has been accomplished in harmony with numerous veterinarians in Texas and
Oklahoma.
Reggie and Regan are ready to pass this knowledge on to you at Oklahoma State Horseshoeing
School.
