Looking for a career in horseshoeing as a farrier? The Wyoming School of Horseshoeing is your first stop!

Farriers spend the majority of the day outside or traveling to different barns, and interacting with not only horses, but clients. They have an opportunity to make a competitive living anywhere. The trick is advertising your unique skill set. From highly populated cities to the far reaches of gravel roads and back country ranches, horse owners are continually searching for competent, professional farriers to handle horseshoeing for their animals.

At the Wyoming School of Horseshoeing, we are committed to your success. We offer real experiences of working with horses and owners, a variety of horseshoeing situations and needs, and a solid background of anatomy and hand skills. The Wyoming School of Horseshoeing's combination of education and training will help you become the competent, professional farrier that horse owners are after!

Horseshoeing is a highly respected trade, one that offers individuality, direct influence on the health and soundness of horses, and specialized communication with horse owners. When you find yourself yearning for something more, something different, or something unique, the Wyoming School of Horseshoeing is for you!

"After completing the 2 week course at Wyoming School of Horseshoeing, I feel confident in going out and shoeing horses safely. The food and the dorms are right on the ranch so there is no need to ever leave the school. Once you've paid tuition and tools, there is not much expense after that if you choose. The education I received here at the Wyoming School of Horseshoeing is something I can use for the rest of my life. I would recommend this school to anyone who has the
desire to shoe horses." -Aaron, NE
