Great video. I graduated shoeing school when I turned 38. I’ll be 53 in July and still Trimming and Shoeing. Shout out from big island Hawaii.
Thanks for watching.
Is the pay good?
It’s sad all the mean comments coming from people we know nothing about but if it makes them fell good then that’s their problem. I wish they’d keep their comments to themselves’
It's very sad to have to pay a crap ton of money into farrier programs and failing at the very end. Sadly i had to go thru that problem. I was only 1 point away from getting a certificate and i would've had to put more money out to get it done but unfortunately i didn't as i felt like a failure at the time and getting some reassurance at the time wouldve helped a lot but i was given none by the instructors and only told that i needed to leave the next day. Looking back, i shouldve spent more money to try and get that certificate.
I’d say that your name may be an indicator as to why things did or did not work out for you.
Are you trimming or shoeing now?
My name has nothing to do with. This was a silly name and a name I was called in grade school because of me being a bit overweight. I keep it to show that I am stronger than that.
@@nataliejustinmurphy2671 I am. I now work with another farrier to trim horses.
The scene at 10:18 brings tears to your eyes. She knows its over.
This was an emotional week for many.
Almost as much as 5:00 brings tears to your eyes.The horse industry is freaking out that the average retirement age of a farrier is 36 years old, principally due to back problems.
Shorter people are less predisposed to back injuries because their vertebra are smaller causing less wear & tear damage when their manual labor job involves frequent bending over.
It seems self-defeating that we'd penalise short people on diploma test day by putting the anvils that they can reach around the other side of the truck, a long distance from the forge so that it guarantees that by the time they reach their work station all the heat from the forge has long left the shoe, leaving it impossible to do any decent forging work with.(80% of the heat of a shoe is lost as soon as it leaves the forge, combined with walking long distances to & from the anvil is a time waster that could be far better spent doing diploma passing work at the horse & at the anvil)
Grew up on a farm pounding on my own iron. They dramatize everything nowadays. Never lamed a horse and punched many a mile.
Lol, I Dinno.... I went to and graduated Farrier School in 99 (Martinsville under the late, great Danny Ward). We started with almost 30 students and ended with 12. I was the only female out of the 3 of us women that started school who graduated. Between the other woman, and many of the guys, it could be quite dramatic at time lol. And I despise drama haha.
You want to be the best? Go work with the best! Go Heartland!
Thanks Mark. Hope you are doing well.
The struggle is real. 💪🐴
1:27. Keepin’ it safe with a nice, big helmet!
I love to see the girls and women learning the farrier trade.
Thanks 4 a great video
Thanks Kevin.
God I remember those days 26 years ago . 10 more to go and I’ll hang the apron up.
I've been 10 years away for quite a while now lol. Still love shoeing horses.
GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR ESTE INTERESANTE VIDEO .
Gracias amigo. Mira mi canal en espanol. Escuela de herraje, Heartland.
What does there final
Exam consist of and how long is the course
This one is for the 8-week course and they have to do 2 feet with keg shoes in an hour. They have to shape, clip and fit to standard. Most take at least 6 tries. We will no longer be offering this class in 2022. We will only have 12 or 24 week courses to choose from. Check out www.heartlandhorseshoeing.com
at 6-4” shoeing is not for me.
I had a horse to trim once and every time I went to pick up his hind foot he would sit down on his bum.
Epic mustache!
Thanks Britt. Kind of been my signature for a while now.
Why don't more people do barefoot trims instead of driving nails into a horse's hoof? I don't understand it.
Because they love their horses and want to protect their feet. Not putting shoes on horses that need them is the same as sending your kids outside barefoot in the snow.
I used to ride at a ranch in Leander Tx several years back and they always kept the horses shod there because most trail rides were on pavement & rocky grounds. So they had special pavement shoes that had cleats on bottom so that the horses didn't slip when climbing steep hills and going down as well.
I'm a UK farrier . People shoe their horses as they require their horses to do more work on roads and other hard surfaces . The feet can't grow fast enough to cope with the wear that the feet get . So the horses go sore or lame . So horses are shod to stop their feet from becoming sore from the work demands we ask of the horses of today . Also shoeing can be used in a remedial way to help with certain problems a horse may have .
I appreciate an answer that's informative like yours and not an attack as some people have left. Thanks for your reply!
Thanks for sharing WHY it's important in some cases to have shoes. I appreciate that!
So much focus on hitting hot shoes, so little focus on how shoeing can manipulate joints, why, when, and what direction to manipulate the P3. And how structural support of the capsule is influenced. Sad... really sad. It’s likely one of the most mis-educated and misinformed industries
There is a lot more taught here than just forging, but classroom videos are not exciting. You should check out my book, Gregory's Textbook of Farriery, at www.heartlandhorseshoeing.com if you want to see what is important in shoeing a horse. Thanks for watching.
Where is this school located
Lamar Missouri

Are we supposed to be impressed by a video witch only shows hammer tapping on metal, people only try to go faster and lift horses feet.
billybobking200 right ?? They don’t show the show what do you learn from this vid?at least something 💪
¿Por que salen tantas veces las chicas sobre todo una y el resto de estudiantes practicamente nada o directamente nada?
Este video sobre una semana cuando las chicas cerca terminar el curso.
@@ChrisGregory-Farrier-Author Gracias.
I think that going to a shoeing school is overrated it is likened to a house painter paint a few houses then you call yourself a painter the same would be for a horse shower shoe a few horses then call yourself a farrier.
I disagree. You can call yourself whatever you want but in the end it's your work that speaks for itself.
I see the class working away. Who pays for all these shoes
We shoe for the public and they pay a nominal charge for shoeing. Right now it is $30 for shoeing and $15 for trims.
Yo
I served a 5 year apprenticeship to become a qualified Farrier in the UK! These fellas knows nothing about the job!
As a recent graduate of this school I can personally say that the instructors are some of the best in our country, and arguably the world. A 10 minute video a week does not do it justice and is just the tip of the iceberg for this place. Any person who earns the diploma at this school truly deserves it, this school is taught at the level of the AFA standards, if not higher.
Seamus O'Hara Chris is a FW and Cody is a AW dude lol like what heck?!
These “fellas” are at the beginning of their career and getting an education, just like you were at one point.
@@wolfgirlz13 you might want to question the AFA standards...
@@etchediniron4249 I think you should look more into them yourself. I don't know anything about you but it seems you don't know much if you're judging from a 10 minute video of beginner students. At graduation level these students need to complete a proper shoe fit & trim in under an hour, and the journeymen need to trim and shoe a full horse with handmades in under 2 hours. The instructors at this school judge afa tests and you will not graduate if you are not up to that high standard. They are kind but very strict
Whoa, this is a big school!
