Doc's Janie Bar was brought to the Oklohoma Horseshoeing School with severe chronic laminitis. At the time, Janie spent the majority of her time lying down. The coffin bones had rotated through the bottom of her hooves and there was a question of whether she would survive. Janie stayed at OHS for two months for shoeing and treatments. She was sent home sound and reentered the show ring. This picture of Janie back at work, was taken 90 days after she was sent home from Oklahoma horseshoeing school.

High School students may attend the Oklahoma Horseshoeing School during high school breaks and summers only, unless they have a letter of approval from their principal.

GRADING POLICY

Students are graded 80 percent on their practical skills and 20 percent on written exams. An overall grade of 80 percent or higher must be achieved in order to receive a Certificate. Each student will progress at a different level. The Oklahoma Horseshoeing School asks only that students put forth their best efforts in order to reach their potential.

Any examination or assignment that does not receive a passing grade will be redone as many times as needed until a passing grade is achieved. Academic examinations may be taken either written or orally, at the student's option.

Please note: Our standards are very high. Remember that when a customer pays you for a job he has every right to expect excellent work. We are happy to take as much time as necessary to help you meet these high standards.

MANNER OF PAYMENT

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover Card are accepted. The School cannot accept personal checks, please do not ask us to do so.

RELEASE

We consider our method of instruction to be the safest found anywhere. However, due to the problems of liability insurance in running a school of this nature, a release will be required from every student before he is permitted to attend class. No one under 18 years of age will be admitted to class without a release signed by his parent or guardian.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

There are no school holidays. Three tardies will constitute one day of absence. Over 10% absences must be made up. All missed work must be made up by the student on his own time.

CONDUCT POLICY

Students are expected to conduct themselves as ladies and gentlemen at all times.
