Unpopular opinion: Hand forging beats pre-made keg shoes for most trail horses
I spent years using factory keg shoes on trail horses in the Smokies, thinking they saved time. Then I started hand forging a set for a rocky customer's mare last fall, and the fit was way better with less slipping. Has anyone else noticed a big difference after switching to forging more of your own shoes?

Maybe it's just me but I've noticed that same kind of principle applies to a lot of things - like when you take the extra time to do something yourself instead of grabbing the quick fix, the end result just works better overall.

Totally, that extra effort pays off every time.
