Horse Shoes

(1/2) > >>

chin:
A few months ago I got the chance to see how a race horse change shoes.

First the different shoes and tools. The aluminum shoes were for actual racing, irons ones for training.

chin:
First pry loose the nails, then pull them out.

chin:
Right after taking out the old shoe, the hoof and the nails are dirty and over grown. The farrier would shave off the excessive nails, and file it nicely.

chin:
Do you think the horse was enjoying the grooming?

chin:
The new shoe was heat up and pressed against the hoof.
This was to measure whether the trimming was done properly?!
