Tour Scotland Travel Video Farrier Shoeing Clydesdale Horse Alyth Show Perthshire

Tour Scotland travel video of a farrier shoeing a Clydesdale Horse at the Alyth agricultural show on rainy day ancestry visit to Bogles Field, Essendy Road, Blairgowrie, Perthshire, Scotland. A farrier is a specialist in equine hoof care, including the trimming and balancing of horses' hooves and the placing of shoes on their hooves, if necessary. A farrier combines some blacksmith's skills, fabricating, adapting, and adjusting metal shoes, with some veterinarian's skills, knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the lower limb, to care for horses' feet.
