: wow, thats a can of worms to open. off the top of my head here is my humble opinion. the top of my list would be Jim Poor in midland texas. Jim kieth, (N.M.) Jim Quick (colorodo) Shayne Carter (utah) Craig Trnka (N.M.) Austin Edens (texas) Mark Milster (o.k.) John Mcnearney (colorado) Jason Smith (cal.) These are just some off of the top of my head but you are on the right track to study with the top. There is a lot of knowledge avalable to you if you are willing to make some sacrifices.
: good luck,

I like your attitude! With that type of determination, you'll do well. I don't know about ten, but two I would nominate are Mitch Taylor at Kentucky Horseshoeing School, and David Alumbaugh, in Albuquerque, NM (www.nmfarrier.com). Good luck...and be safe. If it's hard to get someone to let you work with them, keep in mind that the less secure among us consider you a threat.
