A horse walked into my garage during a horseshoe art experiment

I was trying to bend an old shoe into a wall hook for my shop. Had the propane forge going and everything laid out neat. My dog started barking like crazy at the back fence. I turned around and there was the big paint mare from down the road, just standing in my doorway. She must have followed the smell or sound, who knows. I had to slowly put down the hot shoe and gently lead her back out before she stepped on my tools. The hook ended up looking like a question mark, which fits the whole silly morning. Now I check the gate is shut before I fire up the forge.

Worry less about the hook shape and more about securing your place. A loose horse near hot tools is a real danger.

Actually, a PROPER hook shape can PREVENT loose horses in the first place.
