Well, I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who has trouble with it. You're right about the farrier making it look so easy. When he's trimming with the hoof knife, it looks like he's slicing through butter, but when I tried it it was like trying to carve concrete with a kitchen knife. Of course he's 27 years old, strong as a ox and hard as a rock and can shoe 9 horses in one day. I figure he's worth every penny he gets.
"he's 27 years old, strong as a ox and hard as a rock"
Is he busy later?
