Cornell Farrier Program

Cornell Farrier Program We offer the lowest student/instructor ratio. We teach the basics, specialty shoeing, theraputic shoeing, glue on shoeing, live shoeing, prep for AFA CF.

The Cornell Farrier Program, or "Cornell Farrier Short Course" is a 16 week intensive education in shoeing and farrier science. Operating out of the shop of the Resident Farrier at the Large Animal Vet hospital at Cornell University, the program accepts a maximum of 4 students for each of 3 of the 16 week programs each year.
