I watched a You Tube video of a blacksmith shoeing a very large work horse (don’t remember the breed). That is some long, hard work. They do not have small, delicate little hooves like a typical riding horse.

My team was Nip & Tuck. Tuck loved to get hitched and work. Nip was lazy. Learned to step back and let the traces go slack, make Tuck do the work. Had to watch him.
