[TheForge] Neat Folding Fariers tool on Ebay

[Walter Mullett]

This looks like it's probably a snow knocker.  They were used to clean the
horses feet of snow and ice.

I never had a need for one because the ice was coming off as fast as the
horse picked it up.  I know because it was hitting me in the face. That's
the trouble with a sleigh.  The dash board is too low.

BTW - do you suppose that the name "dash board" came about because it
protected you from the mud and snow when a horse "dashed" off.

Neat little gadget, but a farrier wouldn't use it, it would be something
that a traveller would carry, like a jack for a flat tire. Just not
efficient enough for a day under horses.

 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
