    I forgot to mention, the Arabian moment that occurs when the owner whacks the horse for pawing...I try really, really hard not to laugh and instead I look very concerned about their welfare.....

    Had a lady who desided to cure her all ready rank horse of pawing by tieing it up and and shooting it in the butt with a low power bb gun while hiding in the barn thinking it would not make the conection between the sting and her and her bb gun . Every time she shot the horse would pin its ears and look dead in her direction .she did however acheeve two things .the horse is now to dangerous to handle from the ground and last i herd she is still looking for a farrier for the rest of her horses. Happy ending though that little bay mare is still getting even with her

    1 leather but I believe they are 2 bonded together, Ray could explain the process. It's a1/4 or 9/32 thick don't remember which it was.

    So does that big clip function like a chastity belt to prevent rape . . . of the dorsal wall?

    Justin,

    if 1/4" or 9/32" R.Steele it would not be bonded, Mustard, as I believe the product that I have seen from them in thick leather is glued together. Keystone has thick leather available also. Has to do with the hides that the tannery buys, which is determined by the tannery s clients needs and the farriery trade is pretty well down the list. by the way, nice job.

    Regards

    Ray

    For clarification the leather was a Mustard and the wedge is yours, so no one gets confused over quality.

    Thats one pretty package but you would have been better off to buy the pads with a credit card at 28% interest ...you know the way checks bounce and stuff..
