I checked out a bunch of farrier schools
last year. All of them teach physiology, locomotion and biomechanics in
addition to how to trim/shoe and make shoes. I think they get a much more
thorough education in farrier school than the typical veterinarian receives in
vet school.
I haven’t met very many
veterinarians who know too much about hooves. The two I know personally
who know quite a bit have taken it upon themselves to get a lot of continuing education
to learn what they know. In addition they have both associated themselves
with a farrier school in order to continue learning which has opened
opportunities for them to participate with the school in pathology cases (helps
the farriers out to have x-rays and such and helps the vet out to learn more in
the process).

hoof physiology, versus just how to file a hoof flat and nail on a shoe?
