Requirements

To shoe a horse requires a set of farrier tools, an anvil, a hot fire and a bucket of water for cooling the metal after it's shaped. Shoeing can be performed inside, but because of the heat needed to shape the shoe, it's better done outside. The process takes about 15 to 25 minutes per shoe.

Shoes can be fitted onto mules and donkeys as well.
