Dan Helton, Certified Journeyman Farrier, will open Bluegrass Horseshoeing School in Williamsburg, Ky., in the spring of 2024. Helton said that the south-central location is ideal for the school as it is home to a large number and wide variety of horses, including sport horses, western performance horses, and gaited horses.
Helton plans to offer 12-, 16-, and 24-week blocks of classes. The longer classes will give his students a deeper understanding of farriery and better prepare them for the workplace. Class size will be five-to-one, assisting with personalized attention during classes.
The curriculum is still being finalized, but will include anatomy, forging, and business. The business section is of particular interest to Helton as he feels it will assist students in avoiding common pitfalls of new business owners.
