A recent visit from Illinois Stories.

Mark McDonald came to Midwest Horseshoeing School in May of 2010 with the film crew from Network Knowledge and Illinois Stories.

Take a peek inside the school and see what we are all about.

Thank You Mark McDonald and crew for visiting us!

The Midwest Horseshoeing School was established in
1964 because of the demand for skilled, competent,
well-educated horseshoers. Through the years
Midwest Horseshoeing School has met the challenge
of this growing trade by continually graduating
seasoned professionals.

Midwest Horseshoeing School is located in
Macomb, Illinois, just 40 miles east of the Mississippi
River, in the rich prairie region of western Illinois... the
heart of the Midwest. Through the years students have
come to Midwest Horseshoeing School from all over
the United States to learn the trade of horseshoeing.

Why choose Midwest Horseshoeing School?
