Coming to Kentucky – Summer 2009
Excitement is building throughout the entire equine industry with regard to new KHS facilities under construction near Lexington, Kentucky. Situated on 40 acres of rolling pasture, the new Kentucky Horseshoeing School will reach beyond all expectations. 23,000 square feet of state-of-the-art classrooms, shops and instructional areas along with beautiful energy efficient modular dormitories are presently being built with an expected completion in early summer of 2009.
These new facilities will provide the space to build upon the demanding curriculum at Kentucky Horseshoeing School while allowing for expanded continuing education opportunities and more personalized instruction. The custom dormitories will provide for modular style living, defining individual living spaces for students of all needs. Private apartments, double dormitory rooms, and bunk-style dormitory rooms are each designed to provide the maximum usability for each individual. A brand new community kitchen and lounge area along with quiet study spaces complete the dormitory building.

Kentucky Horseshoeing School
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.
