  • Today we are at the vet school horseshoeing a horse with a fractured coffin bone. We will be making a hand made horseshoe, pulling clips, and giving this guy a pour in pad to help him out.

    We had a filly at the track who was bucking and playing because she was feeling really good. Of course, being a horse and if they can figure out a way to hurt themselves, they will, she kicked the hot walker. Instead of hitting a hollow part of the machine she hit a solid steel part which broke her coffin bone (can't remember which foot behind). We sent her home and since it happened in the spring the owners had her bred. She came back to the track after two years of R&R and being a mommy. She went right back to her winning ways. What a mare.

      @@maverick_vet heating up metal in an oxygen rich atmosphere speeds up the creation of metal oxides (ie rust), and fluxes are reducing agents, which break the metal oxides to create flux oxides (slag) and pure metal. You can get more detailed with charge differential and chemical equations, but that's the sum of it.
      I think some types of flux can draw out other, non-oxide impurities, but that would depend on the specific chemical makeup, and I think that's more in the context of smelting ore than forging steel.

    I'm very curious how much free time you have being a farrier and going to vet school. Especially with the talent and care you have for the horses, I'd imagine there's not a lot of time left over for other things. Do you manage to find time to yourself?

    Man, though I knew farriers would smith shoes for fit, in my ignorance I was unaware that they’d bang-up custom shoes from scratch like that. Totally blown away - not many trades involve so much artistry, from blacksmithing, to assessments of health and movement, to carving.

    The flux lowers the melting point of metal, by using it for welding it makes the metal super soft and joint together.
