ALL "ABOUT US"

 Our Farrier School is located in Dade City, Florida.   We sit on the Northeast corner in beautiful Pasco County and are family owned and operated.  Our courses are kept small and excellerated for our students to gain the maximum training directly from the well-known and very well-respected farrier himself, Emmet Stevens.  He instructs ALL students first-hand....our students are fortunate to witness his 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 judgement of a horse which helps him to anticipate the horse's next move.  He takes PRIDE in the skills 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 and talent have come from many years of working with horses. Emmet has been 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 Emmet's early 20's, he rode and galloped an estimated 200 horses a week for 7 years. Then, worked cattle on horseback, trained problem horses and showed pleasure and halter horses as well. Emmets’ love of horses and of being around horses is what inspired him to become a professional farrier. After attending farrier school, 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 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.
