The Preparation for Farriery course has been designed for those who are interested in becoming a qualified Farrier, providing an intense 2-weeks of training with our expert team to develop the basic knowledge, skills and behaviours applicants require to progress onto the Level 3 Farriery Apprenticeship and thrive in this industry upon qualification
This course will welcome students to the Myerscough College campus near Preston and require students to engage in a range of practical and theory sessions to help develop their basic practical skills, equine skills, knowledge of safe working practices, and ultimately decide if this is the right career choice for them.During the 2-week course, a session will be scheduled with some Approved Training Farriers (ATFs) who may be looking to employ an apprentice farrier, so introductions can be made and plans potentially made for trials in the workplace. Students must have an interest in progressing to either the Level Two in Blacksmithing or the Level Three Apprenticeship in Farriery. Students must bring steel toe capped boots and appropriate wear for work in the forge and with horses.
