I need horseshoes

Fri Jul 3, 2009, 10:37 PM
i have a quadsuit horse commission in the works, it will not be started for a few months but i am gathering supplies now. for the front feet i would like to use metal horse shoes so i can get that nice clip-clop sound (behind the hoof is the rounded rubber end of the arm stilts so grip is not an issue) but i do not have a horse nor know anyone who does and i do not know how to obtain a matching set of horse shoes.
i was hoping of the 900something watchers i have here maybe some one has a horse and would not mind sending me a matching set the next time their horse gets new shoes
any one?
shiny would be nice but as long as they are not rusty they would be fine.

go on livejournal and find diadexxus. she was selling a set of molds to make your own horseshoes. i think they were $50 last time i saw them. if i had the spare cash, i would have bought em.

hope that helps.

I work on a horse farm close to my house. You don't need horseshoes to make a clip clop noise.

Horses without shoes make a nice clip clop noise. Horseshoes will just make clinking noises on people. This website has a got tutorial to make realistic horseshoes that should clip and clop! Good luck!

Ah good time to ask XD I just got 4 for my own Agro cosplay from my friend's farrier!
He might make some more if I ask nicely, lol.

How about buying the taps from tap shoes and placing those on the bottom of the hooves? I thought about adding those to the unicorn quad myself :)

Look up your local Ferrier Supply store. That's where I got mine. They can help you with sizes and types.

Aluminum are lighter but smaller (since they are meant for racing), I used Stainless steel, the size I got was the largest possible without going into Draft horse sizes.

You can get them at the local feed shop or ordered on the internet. Tractor Supply Company is one store to look for them at.

I advise against used shows, any farrier will tell you, they walk in bad things and normally hooves carry a very distinct odor, new shoes would probably be the way to go! =)

These look very cheap, check this site out! [link]
