Description: This is Tiggy, she has had Laminitis and is far more comfortable with these bar shoes on. Due to the lock down the ponies haven't done anywhere near the amount of work they would normally so I'm doing lots of refits! You may want to turn your sound down a bit as it's blowing a gale today and has come through on the camera. Filmed with GoPro Hero8 black Camcorder PLEASE READ THE FAQ's BEFORE POSTING!! 1: Hot shoeing ensures a good fit. 2: No, it doesn't hurt the horse if it's shod correctly by a qualified registered person. 3: The horse is calm because it has been trained from birth to know there is nothing to fear. 4: The majority of horses these days are worked either under saddle or in harness and on hard man made surfaces, shoes protect the feet from wearing down too much and can add grip via studs in the shoes for competition animals. 5: Feral horses have particularly hard feet and manage them naturally by foraging, if they get sick they recover or die, it’s nature. 6: The average horse needs re-shoeing every 6-8 weeks 7: The bit I am nailing to has no nerves and is made of Keratin, the same as your finger nails and hair. 8: The burning smells just like burning hair. 9: The piece I fed the dog was a piece of the frog which when fresh is soft and a treat for them.
