What clients have to say about Chris Gregory

Testimonials

"An excellent school – I highly recommend it. Chris and Cody are world-class farriers, and the curriculum for the Basic, Advanced, and Journeyman Courses – developed over 20 years – contains the right mix of horsemanship, forge work, and anatomy & pathology. Make no mistake: these are challenging courses, and I can attest to the fact that not everyone leaves with the diploma they came for - I attended the Journeyman course (24 week), but only earned the Advanced Course (16 week) diploma. But if you want a school that will prepare you for certification and running your own farrier business, then this is it." ~ Wilfred B.

"I just spent a week attending the National Certification Course @ HHS. This course helps students prepare for AFA Certification testing. At the end of the week I was able to successfully pass all three segments required for American Farriers Association, Certified Ferrier (CF). This was a week of long productive days with not a minute wasted. Chris and Cody are outstanding in their abilities AND know how to teach others in a very clear, effective way. In the forge and at the horse, this course provides all the repetitions you can handle, with precise one on one critique and direction. Excellent experience. Thank you Chris & Cody !" ~ Scott H.

Facility

Heartland Horseshoeing School is located on 10 acres approximately 20 miles North of Carthage, Missouri, and 3 Miles South of Lamar, Missouri on Highway 71. The shop is a 40’ X 60’ metal building equipped with forges, anvils, shoeing bays, and all the necessities for blacksmithing and horseshoeing. This is one of the only blacksmith shops in the world that houses 20, bricked in coke forges. Shoeing in the field is done with propane forges, while most forging projects are made in the coke forges. Having both forging mediums is a huge advantage to HHS students. There is a 40’ X 48’ shoeing area attached to the shop.
