Gabrielle Evans, an apprentice farrier at Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, has undergone rigorous training, honing her skills in anatomy, physiology, pathology, gaits, horseshoes, and more to become an American Farrier's Association (AFA) Certified Farrier. We see her dedication and passion for the horse's well-being as she strives to provide the best possible hoof care. We hear of her journey culminating in the momentous day of her exam, as she puts all her knowledge and skills to the test.

"It's not about being a female farrier; it's about being a farrier - a really good one." Passing the AFA certification exam is a mark of excellence and dedication to the craft of farriery. It is an objective assessment of the specific skills necessary to perform the job of farriery to a prescribed standard. A certification that proves that the farrier possesses the skills needed to provide a healthy standard of hoof care.
