 The
Advanced Horseshoeing and Blacksmithing Course is the most complete
course of horseshoeing study. You will receive twice the benefit of the
Professional Horseshoeing Course. From week one to week eight, you will

your skill twice as far in weeks nine through twelve. This course will
teach you everything you can learn in horseshoeing school.
In addition, you will learn the
skills of the equine dental technician. You will learn to float teeth
and extract wolf teeth. These are all skills that you can use to
improve your earnings per stop.
Shop tasks have been selected to provide each student with the skills
needed to shoe any horse in any area of the world. The student will
complete handmade shoes using bar stock. The instructors are qualified
to teach you all the forge skills you may need. If you need to stress a
particular type of shoeing for your area, please bring this to the
attention of your instructor.
Upon graduation from the Advanced Horseshoeing and
Blacksmithing Course, your skills, technique and efficiency will be
refined to a level that will give you a competitive edge.
