Interesting shoes he is nailing there, do you know if they use aluminum or titanium?
A few years ago I machined a set out of stainless steel specifically for a horse that was doing a couple of parades, made good money doing it. I wonder if there is a market for custom machined shoes out of exotic materials, maybe with fancy engraving on them? Think someone would pay good money for a set?

They look aluminum, but I've never seen a Titanium shoe :~)
There definitely is a market for specialty shoes out of specialty materials for theraputic needs... I don't know if people would pay money for special engraving though, They get used :~)

We’re going to be a bit sacrilege and have Margaritas, since it’s also Cinco de Mayo :~)

Oh I know that they get used, the pair I made was for a show horse that was scheduled to do a couple of parades, so the owner had me put some fancy designs and the horses named in script along the side of the shoe. Did look pretty cool, I polished it like a mirror, and it went well with all the fancy polished bit and saddle parts, at least she was happy with them.

To: Abathar
Sounds very fancy :~) Do you have pictures of them?
To: sanjacjake
I haven’t picked a favorite yet, they all have a dream today :~)
To: HairOfTheDog
Ok........I'm picking "Storm in May" to win. Using my surefire method of losing money at picking horses, here are my reasons:
I was married 23 years ago in May on a stormy Saturday.
I like the jockey's silks.
Last , but not least, gray horses are just so darn purdy!
You are welcomed to use my method at your own risk! :o)
