I always marvel at the hand-tool work of an experienced farrier. Also the confidence in which they drive a nail. Great stuff

the best horse shoer vid i've seen on u tube. hands down. but. what happened to the frog of the foot ? lol

They use the bends on hind shoes to help with traction on dirt tracks- also to elevate the bulbs of the heel sometimes to avoid "rundown" abrasion.

The hinds shoes are sometimes bent (bends) so that it might give the horse a little more support and traction. Usually only on dirt tracks.

I loveee the sound of them hammering the nails

Hello,

Why do you curve the ends up of the shoe???great job ,,,nice and fast....I have a question the nails have a curved side so do you just hammer them straight in or do you tilt them to the side a little??????

I like workin with aluminum. is sooo soft

I thought turndowns were banned on most tracks? What kind of driving hammer is that? Looks sweet.

@sanorm2 Oh, ok thanks :)
