I had a really good time and learned a lot more than I thought I would. The best part was getting under so many horses. During our fourth week, someone from home asked if I had been able to shoe any horses yet, and I said, ‘Yeah, since the second day!’ I liked the six week course – others I looked at were 12 weeks long, and it didn’t look like I’d do as much as I would at this school in only six weeks.

I absolutely had a good experience. The best part was being able to learn so many different things. I didn’t have a lot of experience with horseshoeing and trimming before I came here; everything I learned, I learned here. Of all the skills I learned, I actually learned how to see. I’m very happy I had a chance to come here and learn from the best. This exceeded my expectations. -- Tanya Gronvold, Norway
