Hey John. I was talking with some other ferriers and they were shocked that I said I never made a horse bleed. I talked with Trenton and he never has either. So, thank you for teaching us correctly about the anatomy of the foot! Colt Smith

John,
I spent yesterday with a man named David Hissletine. His  practice is
exclusively therapeutic. He works directly with at least 3 vets that I
know of. He is looking to retire in a short, but undetermined time. He
liked my work ethic, attitude towards the horse, and knowledge base.
He has offered to teach me the therapeutic procedures and the forge.
He has already given me forge homework. The goal is for me to
reproduce the methods of care and eventually take over for him. I
cannot begin to describe how excited I am.

I tell you all this to say how grateful I am to you. My foundation is
solid and provably so.
I will continue to represent Texas Horseshoeing School to the best of
my ability.

Thanks again and may God’s blessings, peace and wisdom be yours.

Dear John and Paula,Thank you so much for teaching and mentoring Ty through his farrier journey. Ty thinks the world of you John. You have been a great teacher and mentor for him. I know it was not easy for him to leave home and be away from his family but you were his family while he was there.  When he carefully chose his farrier school he always was impressed with your school. So professional yet personal.  Thanks again for looking after my boy.

Yours truly, Karen Livingstone

Being from Kentucky, I always wanted to be able to shoe my own horses.  I researched the different schools and found that John's school offered just what I was looking for with the training, lodging and no tools needed.  I am 51 and knew it would be a challenge (and boy was it!).  John provided great training and support.  He will schedule as many horses as you can stand to get under and adjusts the schedule based on your progress.  If you want to learn how to shoe horses (all kinds), you will not be disappointed. Almost every day in my two weeks I was under horses.  I made it home and on Sunday shod my first horse at home!  The bunk houses were great, the shoeing barn was setup well and the bus for the remote trips worked great.  He also has a store for buying supplies so you can hit the ground running when you leave.

Thanks again John. - Scott M.

In two weeks, I did over thirty horses! Thank you, my friend. - Jeffrey F.

In speaking about Jeff, John Burgin said, "Jeff put shoes on five and a half horses in one day by himself! That goes down as a record at the Texas Horseshoeing School!

John is by far the true expert for learning about horseshoeing or furthering your existing knowledge. John has acquired his expertise through years of experience. There are a lot of schools out there, but no school is as hands-on as John's. With John you are learning from someone with years and years of experience- not student teachers who themselves graduated just a year or two before you. John's help, mentoring, and continuing education furthered my experience and allowed me to take my business to where it is today. I give my highest recommendation to John and Texas Horseshoeing School. - Dave
