Kentucky Horseshoeing School

“January 4, 2010, KHS proudly opened the doors to their new campus near Lexington, Kentucky. Situated on 40 acres of rolling pasture, the new Kentucky Horseshoeing School exceeds all expectations. With 23,000 square feet of state-of-the-art classrooms, shops and instructional areas along with beautiful energy efficient modular dormitories, Kentucky Horseshoeing School has become the pre-eminent farrier education facility operating today.

“Founded in 1978, the Kentucky Horseshoeing School has continually focused on primary and continuing education, drawing upon the best of traditional practices as well as the newest research to become the premiere farrier education center in North America.

“Our curriculum, our staff, and our facilities continually evolve to reflect state-of-the-art shoeing methods and materials as well as the latest insights into balanced shoeing. Both working professional farriers and KHS students benefit from our educational programs, designed to provide the farrier community with a thorough understanding of the current techniques and the latest skills required for providing hoof and leg health.

“Our instruction focuses upon understanding balanced shoeing through a combination of intense anatomy, physiology and biomechanical training as well as practical work.

“Throughout North America and around the world, you will find KHS graduates working at the top of the farrier industry, shoeing world champions of all breeds and providing leadership within the farrier and equine communities.

“Committed to advancing the farrier’s craft and the heritage it was built upon, the Kentucky Horseshoeing School’s goal is to educate our students to be the very best entry-level farriers in the country.”

KHS is located nine miles south of Lexington, in the midst of Kentucky’s fabled Bluegrass region. Mitchell L. Taylor, CJF is the owner and Director.”
