THE MODERN FARRIER…
THE RIGHT CAREER FOR YOU?
With the number of horses in the United States greater today than in
the days they were used for transportation, the art of the good Farrier is more in demand
now than ever. There are over 9 million horses in the U.S. that are used for recreation,
which has made the industry primed for a person who enjoys working with horses, desires a
career in which you can be your own boss, and is willing to learn. |

PUTTING YOU ON THE RIGHT
TRACK ~
SIX-WEEK HORSESHOEING COURSE
Just as thousands of other students have, you too, can begin your career after only six
weeks of training from the Oklahoma State Horseshoeing School. During the Monday through
Friday class sessions, you will learn step-by-step basic horseshoeing including: |
|
- The anatomy of the horse’s foot
- Shoeing the straight and sound horse
- Corrective and specialized shoeing
- Horse behavior management
- Forge work
- Advertising and business practices
|
(10 hours a week of after school hour practice,
forge work, etc. is mandatory to meet class requirements.)
In learning the fundamentals of setting up your own horseshoeing business, you will learn
the industry’s supply-and-demand cycle, how to maintain business records, and how to
make a good living as a farrier.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS, PREREQUISITES,
AND POLICY FOR PREVIOUS TRAINING
Any student, who is physically capable, of normal intelligence, at least 16 years of age
and not under the jurisdiction of any secondary school is eligible for enrollment. When
applicable, students need to bring a copy of their high school diploma or GED. A school
official will determine true capabilities of the student by interviewing those students
who do not meet these requirements. Previous horseshoeing training or education does not
count towards graduation requirements at OSHS. To enroll, download and complete the application found on this website and return
with the deposit of $250.00. A confirmation letter and receipt will be sent to you by
postal mail. The balance owed to the school is due before the student begins class the
first day.
