Re: [RC] hot shoeing - Diane Trefethen

Thank you Pauline for pointing out some important reasons why a farrier might choose to cool the shoe before fitting it to the already shaped foot. I appreciate your insight.

There is nothing like watching a hot shoe being worked on on a dark autumn afternoon by the way - I'm always fascinated by the red hot iron when it comes out of the forge - looks beautiful! And who doesn't go to have a look when you hear the rythmic banging of hammer on shoe & anvil at the barn?
Longfellow would have been proud to have uttered such evocative words. That rhythmic hammering of metal on metal is a song rung down through the ages.
