[QUOTE="Stonewall Joe, post: 1816943, member: 41433"] a lot of time it's not pain but getting tired of being held in an unusual position that bothers a horse. After shoeing a lot of horses I made a few changes to what I did as I shod them, especially young horses although it helps with almost all of them. I started shoeing the back feet first, people often thing a lot of horses are picky about back feet but I found out that doing that takes away some of the boredom and impatience because the horse is fresher. There has also been a tendancy of some of the so-called "shoeing schools" to teach people to shoe one foot at a time which gives a horse less of a break per foot instead of trimming one foot then trimming the other then shoeing one foot and then shoeing the other. Doing 2 feet at a time will give them more of a break and relaxes them more and also allows you to balance the horse's feet better [/QUOTE]
