Hey just was wondering if yall could say prayers for my mother as she is going to need a pace maker but if you guys pray that the man upstairs fixes her one valve that's not pumping properly that i'm confident it will work. Thanks Dixie

Charles may I ask why you say you are afraid you can't recommend it? As its been recommended to me by a farrier as a great school, and my husband knows someone who sent his kid to OSHS.

I'll tell yall i know it takes money to get started in the blacksmithing field, and i am quite prepared to do what it takes to get started. and i thank yall for the oppinions and I sure as heck aint ever lookin for hand outs just asking oppinions so then i can make an educated decision

Ok Thank you all but i have a back up plan as i was looking at going there for the bare minimum and then come back to canada and then go to Olds College in Olds, Alberta where they give you a 2 year course

dablacksmith,
I can understand, that you would not want to have an aprrentice, but I am just wondering if a student, came to you with their own tools and such, would you then be willing to apprentice them, or would you know someone that would, be willing to apprentice someone that came with their own tools and forge? As I am looking at getting into the profession, and the school I am looking at, once you are done their course, you get to keep all your tools, as when you pay for your tuition fees, that part of it, is all of your tools to start up, your own business. I'm Just asking, as I would really, really like to get into the business, and I am well aware that this profession, is not a cheap one.

Hey folks,

I'm really really interested in getting into the farrier profession and I'm just wondering what yall think of OSHS (Oklahoma State Horseshoeing School). Just askin as I have had a journeyman ferrier suggest this school, please feel free to say what you think, just would like to make a more seriuous well informed decision
