[@jared_r751]

This is art

[@ZodiakAsHell]

Looked gorgeous in the end

[@theallseeingmaster]

A very calm horse.

[@ddh3098]

That is the best ive ever seen but i haven't seen many

[@carpathianken]

There's way better winning jobs than this one to see. He had to stretch the bejesus out of the back third of the shoe to make it long enough to be adequate to fit. He would have been better off utilising more material from the toe & leaving the heel area , where the horse needs it alone.

[@Romans-310]

Pretty cool looks good. Nice work for sure. Love to see it.

[@ComboMuster]

At this point this is artistry.

[@Richard-bz2xd]

That's the nicest looking shoe on a horse I've ever seen.

[@barrysimmons5489]

Our Farrier Donnie Cunningham back in the day used to turn'em out like that every time he came out. Even having to corrective shoe one to boot.

[@jbrownjetmech-4783]

Dang....horse got a manicure and new treads! Impressive.

[@StihlRunnin]

Drop dead gorgeous! PNW put me onto Riley Kirkpatrick. Some of the better shoeing and farriership on KZbin right now!

[@metrickarma]

Love this stuff!!!

[@hervehenry5863]

Très beau travail. 👏 👏

[@kinuorthel8096]

That smoke from the hoof must have quite a stank

[@anthonythompson4110]

Finding someone to shoe horses is difficult, at least where i live

[@Twosevenboy1]

my dumbass thought that rasp handle was red hot lolol

[@KeweenawPatriot]

I wonder where they get a bunch of horses that are so chill you can do this. In a room full of people with a bunch of yelling and horns going off.

[@USAfarrier-pnwfarriershow]

Typically the region of where the contest is, the association will reach out to a farrier in that area to see if they have a group of horses that would be suitable for these conditions. It’s amazing how resilient horses are and willing to put up with the things we humans do!

[@onemoremisfit]

Horsey knows he's getting shoed by the best so he behaves. His new shoes will be the envy of all the other horses when he gets back home.

[@Eargesplitten-Loudenboomer]

I mean most show/race horses are used to that environment, it could be a bunch of them.

[@thexpat]

Damn that's friggin cool

[@VibeWithPou]

Nice work

[@jimmyrogers3441]

B U T FULLY done 🎉

[@sjkiteboarder]

What's the last part about, where he's putting in little notches or grooves into the hoof?

[@suehelling8770]

It's so the nail clinches lay flat on the hoof

[@mosab643]

I tried to shoe a horse once. You are basically carrying some of the horse's weight when you hold it's foot between your knees. So, it is a very uncomfortable position to stand in. My thighs gave out pretty quickly.

[@oneaboveall1895]

horses survived 1000s of years without these

[@sjkiteboarder]

Horses didn't have concrete, metal, and other artificial surfaces for 1000s of years, either.

[@tandava-089]

Some*** many did not including all the horses on the entire continent that they are originally from Nature is rough and wild. Many creatures today only exist because of captivity, and as time goes on, this will be true for more and more species. If theyre worth the effort, even if we have to manually preserve and provide, it would be a shame if we were to lose such creatures, even if they are no longer cut out for the wild or survival

[@Crozbyguy-rg1iu]

Happy horse.

[@Troggination]

Craig Trnka on the strike??? No wonder he won

[@Comm0ut]

Too bad horses ain't arachnids, they'd be more stable with twice the legs and farriers would make a mint.

[@madarab37]

It's timed. Because it's only good work if you're hurried like a cooking show.
