HPM Corporation Creates Farrier Science Scholarship at Walla Walla Community College

HPM Corporation (HPMC) has donated $5000 to the Walla Walla Community College (WWCC) Foundation to create scholarships for students in the farrier science program. The donation will be given on an annual basis. According to the WWCC website, “farriers are trained in the art and science of trimming and shoeing horses of all breeds. They trim the hoof to remove extra growth and to align the bone structure of the leg so it meets the ground squarely. Due to the popularity and diverse use of horses, there is a steady demand for qualified farriers throughout the world.”

The scholarships will benefit up to 7 deserving students each year. WWCC is one of the few institutions in the country that offers a degree or certificate in farrier science.
