Sometimes in cases where the horse lacks patience, the farrier lacks
patience or BOTH lack patience, we put a horse away in a stall for awhile
or take him away from the situation and do another horse and start fresh. 
Hard to do if you only have one horse.  In really BAD cases, we will come
back another day if we have to.
