I assist in the tasks of shoeing horses.

I help set up and take down the work area.

I catch the horse, prepare it for being shod.

I pull the old shoes off the horse and assess them to see if they are too worn to be reused.

I assess the fit, pick the nail sizes, make pads for the foot, level the shoe.

After the farrier is finished trimming and nailing on the shoe, I then finish the foot.
