Farrier at work. If horses run on the rocky ground, it is necessary shoeing hooves to protect against wear too sharp and too fast. Every six weeks old horseshoes farrier come down and shortens hooves. Then fit the new horseshoes and fix them with some nails on the hoof. The best resist when put hot (hot shoeing), because the pressing hot iron, melt all uneven parts of the horny part, and the iron is placed directly on the hoof. Today it is used and cold shoeing, requiring more attention to matching the hoof.
