Q: What is the difference between the 6 and 12 week courses?
| A: From a students point of view, at 6 weeks you feel you have a good grasp of of shoeing, after 12 weeks you understand how little you actually knew at 6 weeks.
At 12 weeks, students are much more capable of catering to the "Full service" needs of their clients.
In 12 weeks you have the chance to see how your work held up as you are able to critique the work when the horses you shoe return. Most horses need more than just a simple shoeing. 6 weeks student just get the tip of the iceberg when it comes to dealing with founder, white line disease, abscesses, hoof wall cracks, missing hoof wall and the opportunity to address such problems using some of the latest technologically advanced products. It is easier for a 12 week student to make the transition between shoeing in a sheltered school environment where there are plenty of people to aid you and when you are completely on your own dealing with an unruly horse, a demanding client or troubleshooting an unfamiliar shoeing situation.
