Horseshoes for Monty

This is Monty. I was in the yard shoeing another horse when the client asked if i had any spare shoes for Monty, I didn't but found an old pair from one of her other horses. They were the right size but needed to be a completely different shape!

PLEASE READ THE FAQ's BEFORE POSTING!!
1: Hot shoeing ensures a good fit.
2: No, it doesn't hurt the horse if it's shod correctly by a qualified registered person.
3: The horse is calm because it has been trained from birth to know there is nothing to fear.
4: The majority of horses these days are worked either under saddle or in harness and on hard man made surfaces, shoes protect the feet from wearing down too much and can add grip via studs in the shoes for competition animals.
5: Feral horses have particularly hard feet and manage them naturally by foraging, if they get sick they recover or die, it’s nature.
6: The average horse needs re-shoeing every 6-8 weeks
7: The bit I am nailing to has no nerves and is made of Keratin, the same as your finger nails and hair.
8: The burning smells just like burning hair.
9: The piece I fed the dog was a piece of the frog which when fresh is soft and a treat for them. #GaryHuston #Blacksmithing #Farrier #ASMR #Horseshoeing #Fabrication #Ironwork #Hoofcare #welder #repairs #horse #farriery #engineering

[@bumblebee2657]

for the people wondering, the part he’s giving to the dogs isn’t dirt. it’scalled the frog and it’s made up of multiple things like keratin, cartilage, etc. and has many proteins. it can be quite nutritious for some animals, but istypical covered with dirt and manure so it really depends on the owner wether they give excess peoces to the dogs or nor.

[@Knotted321]

@Bella Ball hooves are just giant nails, they're made up of keratin with is actually good for certain animals to eat. Dogs can eat them without causing damage to their organs, humans however can get liver, kidney and heart problems from too much keratin in their diet

Dogs are weird.

[@david4x-ear198]

I see that there are a lot more tools that you use as opposed to the ones needed for cows' hooves. I suppose that using an electric disk to shape the hoof would spook the horse. Is the horse's hoof much harder than a cow's?

[@garyhuston]

Yes, a power tool would spook a horse, I have no idea about the comparison between the two as I have never trimmed a cow!

[@messylaura]

Gary, been thinking, what is hematite like to forge? i dont have a forge yet but was wondering if it is something you might want to test if you can pick some up, possible uses would be knife/sword handle. i have necklaces and bracelets made of the stuff and they do look and feel great.
