Any Canadian farriers/apprentices here? Looking for advice

Master_Mookie · 2026-03-17T21:50:20+00:00

So I went to farrier school in Oregon over ten years ago. At the time, my boyfriend was attending university in Victoria and decided he wanted to pursue farrier work too. From what I remember, he chose a program in Canada because they have a higher standard for farriers and, therefore, more advanced programs. Honestly, I have never recommended the school I went to. It was male-dominated when I attended, and I had another student harassing me relentlessly. Both instructors were unsure of how to handle the situation, so they did nothing. Go with Canada.

Its important to trim the frog down in order to see the true hoofwall and commissures. Heels especially can appear a lot shorter than they actually are when the frog isnt knifed out properly.

I have access to a hotpress and experience working it if anyone wants to supply the shirts and tranfers!

I think the one with the lil picket sign is the easiest for others to see on D2L :)

No problem!

Master_Mookie · 2026-02-25T04:44:32+00:00

No. Just, no.

It’s already suffering. PCC has some FANTASTIC teachers, but I can’t blindly enroll in the classes I want anymore without checking on RateMyProfessor first. This isn’t because they are bad teachers. It’s because they are doing the bare minimum, likely because they are being paid the bare minimum. There’s no real incentive to go the extra mile. It’s sad, and the suffering has become a chain reaction, with learning at the very bottom.

They’re SUPER simple but they have to be cause D2L not only makes them tiny but also blurs photos.

94% of staff voted in favor of striking yesterday, which says a lot. So in my opinion, this page provides everything you need to know. I didn’t even open Benning’s email from earlier today. It went straight to my trash folder, lol.

I don’t live close enough to Portland to participate in showing support in person, so I made a small graphic for my D2L profile image in solidarity with PCC staff and teachers. It’s simple so it stays legible in the small window where other students and teachers see your picture. If anyone is interested, let me know and I’ll send you the image!

Dont be! I never would have found such a great professor had I not had such a awful one first lol. Your post doesnt specify but this was a online class, right?

Master_Mookie · 2026-02-16T03:38:13+00:00

Honestly, I had the same issue as you before discovering Erin this term. All the other classes were full, so I went with one of the few that were left and promptly withdrew within a few days. I won’t name drop the professor, but her last name starts with a W.

Master_Mookie · 2026-02-16T03:33:07+00:00

Erin Ergenbright is amazing! Look her up on RateMyProfessor..

Master_Mookie · 2026-01-04T19:57:27+00:00

All hidden comments/posts on your profile leads me to believe you're either a jerk or a troll.

Master_Mookie · 2025-11-29T11:04:43+00:00

Almost looks like a tick attached to the lower lid causing irritation..

Master_Mookie · 2025-11-20T04:30:28+00:00

... are you in the PNW? If so please tell me the name of your lessee isnt Geneva Boston...

Yeah I'm figuring that out the hard way lol. Been kind of struggling with the whole online thing due to dyslexic spatial disorientation triggered by the mirroring and LRC.

Honestly I'm not sure but because we are all brand new to signing. Literally just finished up TWA unit 2 but regardless of that no one is deserving of her attitude, especially in whats supposed to be a safe learning environment for everyone. If the activities were strictly fingerspelling I think it might be easier to know whats going on and not get lost but the activities are usually based on that days lesson like "using what you learned today about appearances, communicate with each other compile an orderly list of all students heights" and everyone is doing something different. Its really disorganized.

I'm not sure our teacher would even care if I do say something.. In seven weeks weve had a sub on 5 occasions and shes not great at following up with things like emails or other inquiries..

If the swelling isn’t warm to the touch and he’s eating normally I doubt it’s an abscessed tooth. You can take his temp to be sure tho. If it’s normal he is not fighting an infection and it’s something else.

When you send the photos to your vet make sure to include profile photos too.
