Questions & Answers

 
    Our school get's about 50 or more inquires a day in our office.
Here are some of the most often asked question's:

1.Why do you think other schools we ask say you must go to school up to 12 weeks?

Answer-Because normally they get twice as much money to extend class /stretch out the course and they cannot offer you the thousands of horses that "Schools of Horseshoeing" can.

2. If I feel I want to go 8,9,10 weeks to school can your schools do this for me?

Answer- Yes! Pay us for 4 weeks, graduate and get certified. Pay an additional cost at a discount for further learning along with your meals and lodging.

3. Why do you Mr.Tomlinson feel your schools are above the rest?

Answer-

a] More hands on with the horses. NO other schools in the world guarantee's you approx.50-100 horses per student.

b] Less time and expense. You learn a trade for life and are certified in 4 weeks not two or three months.

4. Why do you Mr. Tomlinson operate 16 schools and everyone else has just one?

Answer- People do not have the money or the time to spend for two,three, six or more months in school. This also offers prospective students the chance to join the school within there area or close by in another state.

 

Can you honestly take more than four weeks away from your family-bills-obligations etc?

Answer- 90% of the people we asked say ,NO.
