Stuart Greenberg (Santa Rosa, Calif.)

I have had the pleasure and honor to work and teach with Stuart Greenberg in the Equine Science program at Santa Rosa Junior College for the past 25 years. During this time, I have found him to be a dedicated instructor whose incredible wealth of knowledge from his own professional educational pursuits and years of practical experience make his Farrier Science class (a requirement for our equine science degree and horse management certificate) a superior learning experience for students. Stuart is committed to sharing the science of farriery, equine anatomy and care of the horse. He strives to empower and improve the understanding of horse owners, students of equine science and those wishing to pursue a farrier career, as well as the general public.

Beyond the college setting, Stuart has participated yearly in the Sonoma County Ag Days where for 2 days, over 5,000 students and their teachers from classrooms throughout our county can learn and see first-hand what it is a farrier does. Stuart has been the primary farrier for the horses of Equi-Ed Therapeutic Equestrian program, where he not only has taken care of our horses, but shared his craft with our students and volunteers. He loves to teach and his enthusiasm for his craft is infectious. People are mezmorized by his presentations; he is a warm and friendly person, able to relate the importance for the care of your horses feet to anyone at any level. For his care and concern for the welfare of horses and his countless years of providing service, education and mentorship, I feel recognition of Stuart is long overdue!
