Overview

This 30-week program teaches students with previous horse experience the knowledge, skills and behaviours to work competently as qualified farriers. Graduates of the program will gain the theoretical knowledge required to understand how farriery can maintain and improve the well-being of horses and meet the needs of the horse industry. They will acquire the skills to carry out farriery in a safe, humane and empathic manner, meeting the needs of horses and horse owners in a variety of equine disciplines. Graduates will learn how to interact with clients and other professions in the industry. A practicum will facilitate skill development by exposing students to farriery in the field, and an ePortfolio will provide students with the opportunity to document, track and reflect on their classroom, shop, and field experiences and build their professional network.
