Mountains and Minds: Spring 2008 - VOL. 2, NO. 1

For more than 37 years, MSU's Horseshoeing School has attracted students from around the world, ranging from California cowgirls to a U.S. senator. Affiliated with the MSU College of Agriculture and considered one of the best in the country, the farrier school trains students in a lot more than old-fashioned horse sense.
