What We Do
Founded in 2024, Shod With Love was created with one clear purpose: to ensure farriers have access to the highest level of education in order to protect the horse. Through hands-on clinics, forging events, and mentorship, we are building a stronger, more skilled farrier community—one horse at a time.
Our Mission
Shod With Love is a nonprofit foundation dedicated to supporting individuals pursuing education in hoof care. Through fundraising events and external donations, we provide financial assistance for farrier school, advanced certifications, and professional startup needs. Support may include tuition assistance as well as donated tools and starter tool kits. Each year, we assist a select number of applicants, as determined by our Board of Directors, helping aspiring farriers achieve their educational goals and build successful, meaningful careers.
