<< 75,000  nails a year.......wow, that seems like a lot so I did the math
 - averaging 7 nails per foot (some use 6, some use 8) times 4 legs is 28
 nails ......divide that into 75,000 then divide by 52 weeks, thats only
 50 horses per week, which seems like average, maybe a bit high - my guy
 does between 30 & 50 horses a week during nice weather, about half that
 during the winter. >>

While that's high for some farriers, it IS at least in the realm of reality 
and is the norm for the busier farriers.  Sometimes things like that are 
pretty amazing when you do the math...
