Troy Price, Certified Journeyman Farrier (CJF), brings decades of professional farrier experience, competitive achievement, and instructional expertise to his horseshoeing school.

After graduating from the Kentucky Horseshoeing School with high distinction in the Masters Course in Horseshoeing in 1993, Troy earned his Certified Journeyman Farrier designation in 1999 — one of the highest levels of certification within the American Farrier’s Association (AFA).

Troy’s commitment to excellence extends into international competition. He competed in his first World Championship Blacksmith Competition in Calgary, Canada in 1997, placing sixth in a class. He has since been a top ten finalist three times and qualified for the final five once. He is also a three-time class winner at the World Championship Blacksmith Competition.

As a five-time American Farrier’s Association Team Member (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2008), Troy represented the United States in international horseshoeing and blacksmithing competitions in England, Scotland, Holland, and Canada.

In addition to competing, Troy has judged national competitions, including the AFA Convention, and has served as an approved AFA tester. In 2011, he received the Clyde Stringer Award for advancing farriery in Indiana and for his commitment to mentoring fellow farriers.

For more than 20 years, Troy has operated a full-time farrier business in northeastern Indiana. His vision to establish a professional horseshoeing school became a reality in 2012, creating a structured farrier training program grounded in technical excellence, competition-level skill, and practical instruction.

Troy and his wife Jennifer reside in northeastern Indiana. Outside of the forge, Troy enjoys snowmobiling, camping, and dirt bike riding.
