Horse Shoe

[Joe Wordsworth]

Not a misleading title there.

I shod a horse. First time ever. Very satisfying.

Your back is gonna SO hurt tomorrow.

Funny story: one of my horses doesn't ever really fight or anything when we get his feet trimmed, but for some really weird reason, when you lift his back foot up to trim it, he just falls over....like he just gets lazy.

Solved that problem: we just stand him right next to the barn, and when he goes over, he just leans on the outside wall.

Interesting.

I wonder if your horse watched you - um - fall over when someone lifted your back leg?

Way to go, Joe.

I've never done that.

Well, um, I have a bit of a confession to make.

He's a big boy now, right around 16 hands, but I owned his mama, and I've had my hands on him from the minute he was born.

Well, even first born, they're a handful, and when he got on up a few months, if he started acting up, I would reach down and pick up his back leg, then bump my shoulder into him - HARD - which knocked him over. Then I'd sit on his neck until he calmed his little testosterone-flooded ass down.

I can't do that anymore, obviously, because he weighs somewhere around 1500+ lbs now, but in his mind, I still can.

Why does that sound so amazingly hot to me right now?

Sounds rather cool to me, I can't say I've ever been that close to a horse's feet myself though!

Okay, GREAT idea ... I hadn't ever thought about that, cloudy. I'm more into Natural Horsemanship but hey, what works, works!

By the way, congrats Joe! That's one thing I have no desire to do with a horse.

You can now add "farrier" to your resume.

That kind of skill is always cool as hell. Blacksmithing was the one for me. Very cool indeed, Joe.
