Admission
A high school diploma or equivalent is required for
admission. A strong background with horses is helpful. We do not
credit any previous farrier education.
Potential students will send an application along
with a non-refundable $250 fee which, upon acceptance, applies
toward the course tuition.
The books Six-Figure Shoeing and Shoeing in
Your Right Mind by
Doug Butler will be shipped upon receipt of the application and
fee.
One-half the tuition will be required forty-five
days prior to class beginning, and the balance is required on the
first day of
class. The Principles of Horseshoeing (P3) will be
sent upon receipt of the first one-half of tuition, along with
assignments to be completed by first day
of class. Lodging and meals are separate (see on- and off-campus
housing section).
There
will be no late admission after each class begins.
Grading
A seventy-five percent average on tests and
assigned projects will be required for graduation. A student’s
final grade average will appear on his or her diploma. Comprehensive
competency
tests with certificates will be given at the end of each course.
Policies
Character and presentation are essential to success. No alcohol,
tobacco or other drug use will be permitted on campus. Persons
coming on campus under the influence of alcohol will not be allowed
to participate. Verbal or physical abuse of other students or
animals will not be tolerated. Violations will be grounds for
expulsion without refund. Three unexcused absences will be grounds
for dismissal without refund.
Placement Assistance
The school will encourage placement with a qualified farrier but
cannot guarantee placement assistance upon completion of the
program.
