Was readin your post about shoeing your own horses,been shoeing longer than I care to remember,but a few years back,I had a wild idea I could get me a kawasakai and get the horses a good home,been regretting than "fine" decision ever since,anyhow not only did I get rid of horses/saddles/tack,let all my shoeing tools walk off probably would be cheaper to get someone to shoe horses now,but I have a knack for figgerin out the hard way to do stuff,on the other hand kinda nice to go shoppin for "tools" here's what Im using now,except I bought a stand for my anvil,gettin lazy in my old age...........shoed many horses off the tail gate of a pickup.....................good luck
PS ........Welcome Mrs H

I gotta beak down and get a nice anvil like yours. Mine is home built out of an old rail. Tacking shoes on a horse is WORK! Kinda like pouring concrete...... nothing about it is easy or easy on your body. Maybe we oughta both go to work on the Spearhead! No need for shod ponies and lots of H2o from above! :wink: Hope ya get rain for a week!

Yup,I like this new anvil,its made for shoeing,get you a stand with clamp when you buy one.
I use those disposal tanks of map gas,and keg shoes,sure beats a furnance,and makes you pretty mobile ...............good luck

Hay Maker, did you put that tread plate around the tailgate or is that a custom job?

I hope you get a good 3 day rain soon. One that's heavy enough to dampen down those slash piles so Elmo doesn't get the urge to toss a match into one again for a while . . . I'd imagine those ribs are still a lil tender from your last escapade.

That's some pretty first class looking equipment there Hay Maker. I bet that anvil set you back a fair bit. I don't believe I've ever seen a new anvil before :shock: At auction sales around here an old blacksmithing 100 lb anvil generally sells for well north of $500, and bigger ones for far more. And I imagine most of them end up with flowers sitting on top of them.
Fortunately we don't generally require shoes on this place either, it's a trade my back would never let me learn. Trimming is a big enough chore for me.

I had the plate put on and had the bed sprayed with that non slip stuff forget what they call it now,ribs are still a tad tender but not enough to slow me down now.................good luck

The little anvil was bought right before everything went crazy price wise,so the p[rice was'nt bad its just a 70 pounder but the turnin cams on the side are a shoers delight,sure wish I could run horses up here without shoes,it is definetly work to keep em shod.
good luck
