That old farrier book said sound hooves need no iron.

My horse Bojangles gets his pedicure for the concert soundtrack.

Sounds like a weird thing to get worked up over.

Doesn't it feel kinda wrong when you see stuff done just for looks? Like, paying extra for shoes just for the sound on pavement (which is cool, I get it) when the horse is fine barefoot. It makes me worry we're picking our fun over their comfort, you know? That click-clack is neat, but is it worth a possibly sore horse later?
