| Advanced Farrier Course |
|
This course is
very intense and is designed to bring students to an extremely high
standard. In our experience, people who complete the longer course
are about three times more proficient than those enrolled in the
shorter course. What this means to you is: the additional investment
in time will more than double your return. All of the text book material covered in the Practical Farrier Course is covered in the Advanced Farrier Course twice. By having the theoretical aspects presented twice, students gain a more complete and thorough understanding of these complex aspects of farriery. Two text books are used in this course, allowing for you to learn from two separate points of view. The major differences between this course and the Practical Farrier Course is that there are more than twice as many forge projects that become more difficult as your skills increase. In addition, you will do two dissections, and at least twice as many horses with supervised instruction. This helps create the confidence that is so important for anyone who wishes to become a self employed farrier in high demand. The final horse test in the Advanced Farrier is the application of handmade shoes with clips. It is similar to the AFA Journeyman Farrier exam, with the exception that the time limit is extended. Successfully completing this course will take you a long way toward the goal of becoming an AFA Journeyman Farrier. There are also two written tests in this course. However, they are much more difficult than the tests in the shorter course. Dediation and motivation are a must for all applicants who aspire to graduate from the Advanced Farrier course. A Certificate of Completion is awarded to all students who successfully complete all required work. This class isn't for everybody, just those who are driven to be successful. Tuition:
