I got to shoe a draft yesterday!

I got to shoe a draft yesterday!
Brigadier and his friend pull wedding carriages for a living.  I made up the set and Huw (in the back of the picture with the horses' owner) let me fit up and fit the backs.  I couldn't have asked for a horse to stand better.

Londonderry Forge- this is just one side, there are three more shoeing stalls on the other.

Averaged 17" of 1-1/4" x 1/2". When those are worn out the owner takes them and has them chromed as a momento for the newly weds.

The near hind all done.  The pins are for traction on the road.
