I attended TPHS for the 36 week journeyman program.  I can honestly walk away feeling confident in my work.  Best experience ever!  Troy is very hands on and always willing to answer your questions.  I can only hope to become as great as Troy one day.  This experience was definitely unforgettable.

Angela Riivald – Indiana – 36 week student

Troy is a stand up guy.  Class doesn’t end at 5 oclock.  It ends when you decide to stop for the day.  The classes are small with a lot of 1 on 1, very personal. It almost feels like you are the only student.

Tom Albano – New Jersey – 6 week student

Horseshoeing school has been a great opportunity for me and Troy’s guidance has given me the confidence to trim and shoe my own horses as well as starting my own business in this trade.  The school has nice facilities and small class size, which makes this school an excellent choice for learning horseshoeing skills.

Laura Ward – Ohio – 24 week student

“Forging Excellence” is more than a motto at Troy Price Horseshoeing School.  From pathological lameness diseases to corrective shoe shaping, there is something for everyone to learn no matter their respective equine background or future career plans.

Megan Hoover – Indiana -2 week student – Purdue Vet School student

I attended another horseshoeing school, but I was not making much progress there.  I switched to Troy Price Horseshoeing School because students get more time with the instructor and get more hands on experience. We were confidently trimming live horses on day 3, and we were shoeing on the second week.  If you want to learn to shoe horses for a living, you won’t find a better place.

Tara Briggs – Indiana -12 week horseshoeing student

I couldn’t believe how confident I was when I graduated Troy Price Horseshoeing School!  Due to the everyday live horse experience, students are able to successfully and confidently produce quality trimming and shoeing.  Troy adapts to how each student learns and helps them reach their goals.  The small class size ensures each student achieves the course criteria.  Any student that attends TPHS will leave knowledgeable, experienced, and sufficient with their work.  If you want a one-on-one, personable, caring teacher that will push you to be the best you can, then attend Troy Price’s school.  I will be more than proud to carry Troy’s name around with me as my business grows.

Shanna Austin – Indiana -12 week horseshoeing student

The adaptability of Troy Price Horseshoeing School makes it suitable for all types of students.  Troy is able and willing to alter teaching style in relation to the goals of the students.  I really liked that I was able to meet and eventually surpass the goals I had entering the course.  Troy is obviously more than qualified in his career and in turn excels at running a horseshoeing school.

Jason Wakefield – Michigan – 12 week horseshoeing student

If you are just starting our or you are an experienced farrier wanting to continue your education, I highly recommend attending Troy Price Horseshoeing School.  You will not be disappointed.  If you want the right start with a good foundation in the fundamentals and advance work, Troy Price DELIVERS.

My expectations were met the very first day of the Trim Course.  On the second day, Troy had my class forging.  I couldn’t believe on my second day I was performing the basics of shaping a shoe and on the third day, I was trimming live horses.  Before attending the Trim Course, I had no prior horseshoeing experience.  This proves how great a teacher Troy is.  His knowledge goes far beyond the expectations of the industry.  He wants his students to succeed.  His unique teaching style is easy to understand and easy to apply when you go home.
