Farrier Schools

[Mayberry1981]

Well if oil prices keep dropping I may be looking at a lay off in around 6 months. Since my wife now has a job making good money (more than me I am not ashamed to add) I have decided to go ahead and jump on an opportunity I've been wanting to pursue for several years now. There is a lack of farriers around my area and I could make income working with horses, something I love. My question is does anyone have any experience with the Texas Horseshoeing School and the Oklahoma Horseshoeing School? I would prefer the school in Texas as it is closer to home but in the end I want to get the most benefit for a future career. Of course oil may go back up and this will become moot but I would appreciate any advice I can get from y'all.

After trimming up the wife's team of ponies all the way around today I would suggest dentistry or brain surgery school before farrier school.

BMR is on to something....great advice. How's your back Mayberry? Shoeing is back-breaking work.
That being said, the consensus from the horse people I know....is pick Texas....I'll send you a PM...

At least I learned how to add emoticons, thanks to BMR who is a beacon of knowledge...

I'm only 33 so everything is still holding together pretty well right now. I'm no stranger to back breaking work, it's all I've ever done save for my current job. I've been looking at the Texas school online and like what I see. LOL BMR sometimes I feel the same way when dealing with ornery critters.

If you wish to send someone a PM related to one of their posts, click on the 'Contact" icon below that member's profile information on the right side of the post. Click on the icon that shows up and a PM window will open quoting that post. Additionally, you can still go to that member's profile page as usual and follow the link to private message that member.

For editing posts, look for the small pencil at the top of the post that you wish to edit. It's possible that those are disappearing after a certain period of time, meaning that you lose the ability to edit after a certain time. I'll contact Macon and see if that can be changed.

Thank you for your help! We'll eventually get it all figured out. To edit I found you have to click 'full editor and preview'. If you just his submit, there is no way to edit a post...is there?
