Q. Who are my instructors?

A. PCHS does NOT have student instructors. If you call the school you will talk to Bob or Chuck. We both have over 25 years each of shoeing experience. Unless you have supported your family, made the house payments and bought the groceries shoeing horses I don’t think you are qualified to teach.

Q. Will I get a chance to work on a lot of horses?

A. One of PCHS’s accounts is the University of California, Davis. PCHS maintains over 270 horses for the university’s Center for Equine Health and the Equine Science Center. .PCHS shoes for rental strings and lots of local horse owners. Horses are brought into the school on a regular basis from around the community.

Q. How will I be able to keep in touch with family and friends?

A. The classroom is open 24 hours a day/seven days a week for students. There are two computers with satellite Internet connections. Students can send and receive email.

Q. What if I’ve never handled horses before?

A. We will start you with the basics. Inexperience is not a problem, only lack of desire.

Q. I don't read or write well. Will I have a problem graduating?

A. All classroom exams are designed to be taken either written or verbally. The instructors at Pacific Coast Horseshoeing School, LLC know how to work with a variety of learning disabilities.

Q. What do I do after school hours or on weekends?

A. PCHS is the only school in American that affords you the opportunity to develop your skills after hours. Formal instruction is from 8am to 5 pm Monday through Friday but the school is open from 7am to 9pm seven days a week to allow you to excel.

Q. What about tools?

A. All tools and equipment are provided for you while you are enrolled in the school. Be careful about schools that provide a tool package as part of the tuition. A 110 pound woman needs a different hammer than a 250 man.

Q. What happens if I decide after the first 5 days that shoeing is not for me?

A. Until you actually get under a horse and work on the forge you don’t really know if you like shoeing as a career. PCHS is the only school that gives a 100% refund to the student if they decide within the first week that shoeing is not for them.
