Glad you have an opinion, just so everyone who reads knows its that, and not a factual statement.

painful; I can only pray that more people are informed of barefoot horses or a kinder 'shoe'. They're animals and if they aren't stalled they're feet don't need to be nailed to metal. Sorry, I'm sure this is an unwelcome comment, but seriously, this is an archaic tradition and is NOT necessary. Houston Police Dept have gone barefoot, it's happening; help the horse, take the shoes OFF.

@llloydy1 I'm using mild steel (Hot Rolled A36 Flat). You can get it at almost any metal supplier (check phone book for both Steel Suppliers or Scrap Steel Yards). You can also get it from the Online Metal Store of Anvilfire's website. Most farrier supply shops will sell it to you as well, but be aware that it will always be cheaper from a Steel Supplier. I usually can get 20' of 5/16" x 3/4" for under $22. Good Luck!

You know if you took an extra heat and bumped some stock into the toe you would get an extra reset out of those nice shoes :)

Hi Mike, thanks for the comment. As to your question, I am working out of my truck in the video. Its a 2006 Isuzu NPR with a 12' box. Better than being able to always being inside when I work, I'm getting 23 miles per gallon as well.

You re excellent, and a thorough teacher.... can you do a few more vids? I love your work! Also could you let us know what type/size hammers you are using?

I'm happy to hear you like the videos. I'm working on a couple more. As to my hammers, I use a 2# Blurton rounding hammer, a 2.6# Hofi rounding hammer, and a 2.6# Hofi crosspein. Although, I own about 300 different hammers. Those are the ones I like right now.
