    So you're actually a cobbler for horses now ? Funny how I was under the impression that you were back hauling real big oversized loads in a heavy haul Truck. Think you can get the Free Farmer Guy to translate the real situation for me ? I know I got a wire crossed somewhere, but I can't figure out where ? I had no idea that Cobbling for horses paid so well. Do you prorate the shoe package ? Like say, the horse gets a break on price if they get a full set of 4 Steel belted radials instead of just hobbling around on three worn one's and only want to buy one new replacement ? Are there Federal Law's about mixing Radials and regular Bias Plies ?
    Just looking for information. Looks like a lucrative field to get into. Almost as lucrative as the field your friend farms for free in Newton. I appreciate any pointers you can provide. Is there a sliding scale that varies depending on the weight of the horse ? Say, a Clydesdale shoe is more expensive than for a Quarter or a Morgan ? Thanks again so much !

    "Smrat" eh ? I can't seem to find a definition for that. Is that like a contraction of "small" and " rat " ? I hope not. Although I've been called a whole lot worse.

    I just calls 'em as I read 'em. I don't even try to mix it up. The trick is that I have to untangle the mess and put it in Layman's term's if I'm trying extra hard to be polite.
    Which actually does happen from time to time. Honest.

    OH ! The horse shoeing sign was already painted on the door of the pickup truck when you bought it.

    Never mind.

    I wouldn't know the first thing about being a horse cobbler, I thought horse shoes were something you hung over a door for good luck, didn't realize they actually put shoes on horses. However, the 70+ year old gentleman I got the truck from has been a farrier for more than 50 years so highly likely he would be able to answer all your questions. As for pay, well he owns a beautiful ranch outside Arlington, WA and an amazing winter home in Las Vegas so I'm guessing putting shoes on equine pays okay.
     
    Zeviander, Feedman, BigBob410 and 10 others Thank this.

    I'll have to do a drive through the mall again, didn't realize there was a Super-Cuts hidden in all the abandoned stores. Might get a discount since I don't have any hair anyway

    Nope, stole that off an old-timer here that has a "smrat" phone. However mine is "smrater" because it somehow thinks I'm parked at the "vaginitis" when I'm texting someone that I'm at the "casino"
