This is pretty much my thoughts, unless it compromises the well being of the horse, rider, or me. One thing that I very seldom do, and I see a lot...
I think this might distort the shoe, and if it wasn't a good weld, could cause it to separate. And then, if it did hold, when you reheat the shoe...
Great picture Mr John!! Regards
Some barns I clean up in, some I don't. If the owner takes pride enough to keep a clean barn, I clean up after. If the barn is bad enough, I may...
