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.

Read something once about how horses are super curious about new smells and sounds, which totally fits your paint mare visiting. @the_sarah has a point about a proper hook shape, but honestly, after a surprise like that, just getting the gate shut feels like the real win. Glad it all worked out without any burned horse hooves or ruined tools.
