Child Shoeing Horse



Welcome to Farrier Week here at OPOD, where we will be looking at what is becoming a lost art . . . shoeing horses. We start with this picture from 1928 showing a child shoeing his pony. The boy looks to be 8 or 9 years old. I would bet you would be hard pressed to find many children this age that know how to shoe a horse these days.
