Farrier U is located in Dade City, Florida, sitting on the Northeast corner in beautiful Pasco County.  Established in 2004, Farrier U is family owned and operated.  Our courses are kept small and accelerated for our students to gain the maximum training under the guidance and instruction of Emmet Stevens.  He instructs all students first-hand.  Our students are fortunate to witness Emmet's excellence in performance on all types of horses ranging from backyard horses all the way up to the World Class Show Horses.  Emmet is well-known for his methods in performance, his knowledge on the anatomy of a horse and the way a horse should move.  His keen sense of horsemanship also enables him to have good judgment of a horse which helps him to anticipate the horse's next move.  He takes PRIDE in the skills and techniques that he owns and has mastered over the years and encourages all of our students to set goals to accomplish this same pride for themselves.

ABOUT EMMET STEVENS.....

Emmet Stevens is a professional farrier and horseman with much experience in the equine field. His horsemanship skills, techniques and talent have come from many years of working with horses. Emmet has been around horses and in the horse business most all of his life.  He is a second-generation farrier.  As a child, Emmet would tag along as his father paid visits to horse owners and kept the animals' footwear up to date.  His father was training, shoeing and showing horses well before Emmet was even born - Emmet was brought up in an equine environment which reflects his horsemanship.

In his early 20's, Emmet rode and galloped an estimated 200 horses a week for seven years.  He then worked cattle on horseback, trained problem horses and showed pleasure/halter horses.  Emmet's love of horses, and of being around horses, is what inspired him to become a professional farrier by trade.

After attending farrier school in the early 90's, Emmet apprenticed with a few well-known farriers in Central  Florida, who were also  accomplished horsemen.  He rode with these farriers to  gain their valuable expertise and to get the additional hands-on  training and experience that otherwise  would have taken years to develop.  Now with his many years of  horsemanship  skills  applied to his farrier skills, he has become one of the top farriers in Central Florida, and for  this, he is passing his skills and  special techniques down to individuals who are interested in becoming a professional farrier by trade.
