Learn the correct way to apply the Nolan Hoof Plate to achieve "pain relieving" results.

Mike Nolan, inventor and farrier from Columbus, OH will offer his history of how the plate has evolved since 1995 up to present day. Mike will discuss the various ways of application.

Link Casey, instructor on behalf of the FNRC will teach the actual hands-on application and shoeing of each horse. Case studies are recorded and documented during each class.

Horses are provided by the FNRC. Each owner should understand that their horse is part of the on going case study requiring it to return to the FNRC every eight weeks. This allows us to document the success for Mike  Nolan as well as provide DVDs for the attending farriers. This allows the owner, the farrier and the general public a unique opportunity.

Class consist of 8 hours of hands-on applying the plate

and 4 hours of Thermal Imaging. Upon successful completion of the school, farriers will be part of the Nolan Hoof Plate School Farrier Referral Program.

Two meals per day are included.
