American Farrier's Association proposal eyes minimum curriculum standards and could grow to uniform testing for new farriers, registration for all horseshoers

摘要

Pointing to a need for increased professionalism and catching its own board of directors by surprise, the Executive Committee of the American Farrier's Association and a task force it quietly created have proposed standardized education, testing and registration of farriers nationwide. The AFA's board of directors scaled back the proposal to include just a review of all North American farrier schools, but left the door open for testing and registration in the future.
