Oregon Farrier School

What a day of learning, competition, and pushing our skills to the next level!
We were incredibly fortunate to have Mr. Tom Peterson, one of the best in the business, judging our contest. His knowledge, experience, and feedback gave everyone plenty to take away β we all learned a ton!
Big congratulations to everyone who competed and put their skills to the test. πͺπ΄
Learn the trade. Build your skills. Master your craft.
