Agricultural Fete Sospel - Steam!

This beautiful horse is being shod. She has just had a new, steaming hot shoe fixed to one of her feet - hence the steam.

Ce beau cheval vient d'être ferré. Elle a reçu un nouveau fer très chaud fixé sur l'un de ses sabots - d'où la vapeur.
I wonder what the horse thinks of that process. I recall mention that they don't feel it.
ReplyDeleteWas the smell terrible ?
ReplyDeleteLovely photo. I've never seen this and I'd love to.
Wow, this photo is now "seared" into my memory!
ReplyDeleteIn Arkansas I watched or helped farriers shoe Belgian draft horses, but I never saw hot shoeing.
Your photo should go on a horse lovers' calendar. It is very special.
The horse doesn't feel the heat. Looks uncomfortable though, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great image. You should sell it to one of the many magazines that has to do with horses.
ReplyDeleteTo me it is unique and a very very nice photograph.
magnifique scène :)
