Horse shoe boot scraper

[BigAl]

We are just comming into the mud season here . It will last the next couple of months . So I have all these old horse shoes and thought I would make up some boot scrapers similar to this design . All I need is 3 stiff brushes and I can build them . Looks like a great Christmas type gift for friends .

I make hoof picks out of them and give them to my riding students when they graduate. Lets them take a piece of the horse that they learned on with them.

Al, don't wait for Christmas. I need mine NOW! We have incredible mud covered with a foot of snow. It just churns up to a hellish mess trying to clear an area. Water is running under the snow from the rain we had last Saturday.

I bought a thing like that at the local hareware store a couple of years ago for less than 10 bucks, didn't think I could build it for that

I've been consider making a gun rack for my cowboy action guns using horse shoes. I want it to hold a 1892 lever rifle, and side by side shot gun both with 20" barrels as well as two pistols and holster rig. Owned horse for about 10 years but have long since gotten away from them. At that time I had all the shoes I could find now I have to look a bit though living in Kentucky it shouldn't be hard to find plenty.

They charge about $25 bucks plus shipping now . I am picking up the brushes and flat bar tomorrow . I got horse shoes lying all over this place . I'll see what I can do for ya ,Bill !!!!

Love making stuff out of horse shoes... Here's a hand towel hook in our laundry room. Just two old shoes welded together on a chunk of flat steel.

An anniversary gift I made for my daughter who lives in Florida. Made from old shoes I found in our barn.
