That horse at the county fair that ate my shoe while I was shoeing it

I was working the booth at the Indiana County Fair back in July, minding my own business, and this old gelding reached down and grabbed my left boot mid-shoe. He just held it there, chewing on the leather like it was hay. I had to finish the nail job with one foot bare on the gravel. Owner just laughed and said he does that to everyone. Now I always tuck my pants into my boots and wear steel toes. Anyone else ever had a horse snack on their gear?

Used to think @wendy_carr was overreacting about goats but this story changed my mind.

Sounds like that horse has a real taste for shoe leather, I feel your pain buddy.

And my neighbor's goat once ate his favorite hat right off his head, worst part is he just kept chewing.
