Cjrags49, LOl, I'm in my seventies but can still trim hooves and reset shoes. Actual shoeing? Not so much.

Traditionally the barrel maker is a cooper. The arrow maker is a fletcher and the shoe maker is a cobbler .

EliteLawyercat57024, -- Wild horses also traverse rocky sort of gravel landscape surfaces which have abrasive effect on their hooves & helps keep them "trimmed", so to speak.

GoGo BOSS Prague, wasn't sabot also a term for wooden shoes worn by poor people? I thought that's where the English work sabotage came from.

My father in law, who is almost 80 now, was a ferrier. He specialized in Tennesse Walking Horses. My husband used to be a farrier, working with his dad, when he was in his twenties. Its hard work (and stinky too).
