Ouch! I feel sorry for that cat! On the other hand, the mare is kinda cute.

Safety shoes. A barefoot Arab just don't hurt that much, a traction shod jackpot class pulling Clydesdale would probably leave the foot in need of re constructive surgery. I have Arabs and ponies.

Micky stood 18 hands [72 inches]. I NEVER lost track of his feet. I do not think safty shoes would have been enough.

Ouchies big time, And I doubt steel toes helped

I miss your colour pictures )':

I kinda miss working in colour too. I better get on the stick and crank out more, and that might be a perfect excuse to try out my Photoshop programme. These other FA artists are leaving me in the dust theyr'e so fast.

I'd rather not test this theory. I say we move it to fact. > : )

flat-footed furrier farrier flinching!

PAIN

Poor cat.

I beg to differ with you that a horse does not know where he or shee puts a hoof at any time,my chestnutgelding proved to me he knew exactly where his hoof would go by stomping my foot,I was wearing my riding boots and he put the open part of his heel with a fast quick stomp,he was wearing shoes and did not hurt my foot but what a surprise,now pay attention to me he indicated.

Agreed. Real Horses are notorious for spotting soft top shoes from a distance. I meant no slight here, but I did like the idea that "Penny" the Plow-Horse Centaur was just a little "Slow" on the uptake.

Ow x 1million

With a five pound, iron, cleated shoe bearing almost 2,000 pounds on it, stepping square on one's Paw or foot, One not only sees "Stars" but Moon, Planets, and the composition of the Universe.
