Summary
Horse shoes aren’t just metal nailed on—they’re precision medicine for equine feet. Farrier Bruce Barton in New Zealand’s rugged Central Otago shows how he transforms a seven-year-old paint mare, Twix, with custom-fit shoes every six weeks to protect her hooves and support her back feet. From heating old shoes in a mobile forge to trimming with rasps and knives, Bruce blends art and science to prevent lameness and boost performance. Every horse’s feet are unique, and his hands-on experience—born from a love of riding—makes him a master of hoof care, even when the horse isn’t thrilled with the process.
