Hufbeschlaglehrschmiedin/Hufbeschlaglehrschmied Recognition
Anyone who wants to work as a horseshoe apprentice needs state recognition.
Examination certificates acquired outside Germany in the field of hoof and claw shoeing can be treated as equivalent in accordance with the Hufbeschlag-Anerkennungsverordnung (HufBeschl-AnerkennV). This Regulation also regulates the State recognition procedure for persons with equivalent certificates.

The responsibility lies with the Lower Saxony State Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety (LAVES).
