[TheForge] Horseshoe Size

Sun Sep 28 23:01:10 2003

to be quite honesty I don't know exactly if there is any thing listing what
each size is. 000 is the smallest and up
that average hunter horse is about a 1 or a 2 but that depends on the make
diamond (cheep S#@t) run small Workman's run a bit large.  the best thing to
do is find your local farrier supply then look for your self. if not then
find old set of shoes the size is stamped on the heal
