@brandywineblue2 жыл бұрын
@@LadyhawksLairDotCom not dumb at all to wonder what it would be like to live as another person does...that is empathy. You're correct, it is a very physically demanding job, working bent over all the time....barns are not heated in winter nor air cooled in summer, except for fans...some horses can be very difficult to work with. Some will lean on the farrier instead of their other three legs. Then there's the smell of hot shoe against hoof - like the smell of burning hair x 1000. Phew!

He does the bouncing to reestablish his grip on the hammer. It will drift as you pound. The powder is borax. It cleans the surface of the metal as they work the shoe, which helps to make a better welding bond. It is also called blacksmithing powder.

I understand this is to relieve pressure on the tendon while it’s healing, but is there no risk of having a caudal failure with such an open heel shoe that is at a steeper angle comparing to the hoof without the shoe? Also, amazing work, I am kind of an “old school” lover, and I’m glad to see you make such a high quality handmade shoe!
