With over 70 years of combined experience, Rob, Danette, and Dustyn Allen bring a lifetime of knowledge to Allen Horseshoeing Academy. Rob has been shoeing horses for more than 50 years, Danette is a lifelong horsewoman who grew up barrel racing and has worked alongside Rob since 1984, and Dustyn carries on the trade with 18 years of horseshoeing experience. Together, they teach not only the craft of shoeing but also the horsemanship and business skills needed for long-term success.
We’re just getting started! Stay tuned for more details about our upcoming 2- and 3-day clinics designed for horse owners and aspiring farriers who want hands-on experience.
Our first 12-week cohort program will launch in early 2026, offering apprenticeship-style training in horsemanship, hoof care, and the business of horseshoeing.
