In the US, it takes a minimum of seven years of school after high school - three years to complete the undergraduate pre-requisite courses and another four years to complete vet school. However, most vet school applicants complete four years of undergraduate and have a Bachelor's degree. Also, if you want to specialize in equine medicine, you will have more job opportunities if you complete a one year equine medicine internship after vet school and possibly a three year equine medicine or equine surgery residency as well, plus taking the associated exam to be Board certified. In total, provided you are accepted on your first try for vet school (only approximately 33% of applicants are), it will take 7-12 years to become an equine vet.

It purely depends on how fast is the horse accepting it.

Question for you is: can you lift the feet, to scrape the dirt and crap from underneath it? If you can do that and the horse works with you there, you are not far from the point of supporting the hoof and trim it.

Does a Equine vet only take care of horses?

A vet can technically treat any animal but they may choose to specialize in one species. An equine vet specializes in equines (horses, ponies and donkeys) but can treat other animals if they choose to.

Any school of veterinary medicine will give you the basics towards becoming an equine veterinarian; if the school doesn't have a strong equine program there you can supplement your time in vet school with externships and experiences at other schools or at private equine facilities.
