How can you become a horseshoer or farrier? In this edition of Profiles in Farrier Education, AFJ’s Jeremy McGovern visits Mitch Taylor and the Kentucky Horseshoeing School. Mitch talks about how he became an educator, the importance of unlocking the right side of the brain and builds a bar shoe.

Farrier schools are shaping the future of the industry one student at a time. In this series, sponsored by VICTORY Racing Plate Co., American Farriers Journal visits various schools to learn how they teach and motivate the next generation of farriers.
