Horseshoes have been around for centuries, and play an integral role in man’s relationship with horses. We still use horses for transportation, herding cattle and other livestock, farm labor, and even companionship, and our relationship with these incredible creatures has played a huge role in modern civilization.

Blacksmithing is the ancient technology that has also played a huge role in civilization, and I think it’s very cool that a lot of horseshoes are still made using the very basic, age-old method. Here’s a very cool video of a blacksmith making a horseshoe which gives you an appreciation for the level of work required to fit a horse with well-made shoes, and what that means about how valuable horses are to the work that we do. Enjoy!
