Documentation that the student has and will maintain health insurance while enrolled in the course must be provided along with the deposit. A copy of the valid insurance card clearly showing name, effective date and expiration date or a letter from the insurance company stating that coverage will be in effect for the duration of the course will be accepted as proof of insurance. A one week course is available to practicing farriers with at least two years of experience and to active veterinarians interested in the latest advances in farriery techniques. This course will also provide advanced training for those interested in pursuing certification through the American Farriers' Association. Scheduling and availability for this course is flexible and is determined by the instructor in cooperation with the applicant.
Space is limited.
The advanced course runs concurrently with the 16 week short course. References and a written statement as to why you are interested in participating in the Farrier Short Course also must be included in the application. A personal interview with the instructor is required prior to acceptance. This may be in person or by phone and is the applicants' responsibility to arrange. Acceptance is probationary during the first two weeks of instruction.
