Hand-Making Clydesdale Horseshoes - Shoeing for Heavy Horses by J & A Ferrie [PART 1] 

I am 79, yes old, and my uncle Jack was a blacksmith. As a kid, I used th hold the horse whilst he did his work, and your video brings it all back. Thanks for it. It was really excellent.

Well documented Lads, I watch craig Trinka and also Black bear Forge. I am still trying to get my forge up and running but I had surgery 1 year ago and i am still recuperating meantime. but we have had no summer as yet, freezing here in Ayr + 32mph winds.. I worked with Bob Wilson Grange smithy Errol near Dundee When I was a a lad. From what I found out recently it is now a house, I have always meant to go and visit the area. I am 75 now and still working. a really good video lads well done. Tom Ayr.

Thanks for sharing you knowledge and experience

Great demonstration. What size and legnth of stock did you start with? You mention using steel for the front shoes and iron for the back shoes. By iron, do you mean wrought iron?
