DESCRIPTION:Steve Waynes incredible meeting: Forging a horseshoe from bar
  stock using the coal forge\n\nSteve's Demo today was stellar ! As a pro
 fessional farrier for over 30 years\, Steve has made and put shoes on so
 me of the most expensive show and race horses in the country. His first 
 demo for CDBA was over 5 years ago and today's demo was just as captivat
 ing\, informative and impressive. He made a special right rear correctiv
 e shoe for a particular client horse and explained why that foot needed 
 special elements not usually found on a typical horseshoe. Steve explain
 ed how certain shoes correct or improve action\, gates\, physical proble
 ms\,etc. He also talked about national shoeing competitions he has been 
 in and won\, and how he used to make TWO complete shoes\, ready to be pu
 t on the horse\, in 20 mins. or less! Steve shared a number of other tip
 s and fascinating tales about his long career. Steve and his wife\, Heat
 her\, have recently moved to Stephentown in Rensselaer County. Here he s
 till produces custom shoes for long time clients as well as leading a bl
 acksmith school\, called Heather's Heart Forge and School ( www. hhforge
 .com \, 518-888-6462) where he teachers general blacksmithing and more a
 dvanced classes in making knives\, axes and other interesting things\, s
 uch as woodturnings! Nice guy and another terrific class. 88888888888888
