Shoe'in

There's something homey about horse shoeing.  Hard work, yes.  Sometimes back breaking, but the sound of the hammer on the anvil.....draws me in.  It's the sound of hard work.  The sound that says my awesome guy is home and the barn is occupied.  It's three little kids watching in awe....and the dog quieting contemplating the situation and waiting.  Horse shoeing means the horses will soon go somewhere.... activity....excitement. 
  I love it.
