<p>When Dale Taffer is finished with a horse, he will often watch the horse walk away from him to make sure its feet fall correctly. Taffer prides himself on his attention to detail and his willingness to always finish the job. He has many times been injured by the horses he works on, but no matter what shape he is in, he always completes his work.</p>
Samantha Thornton
<p>This American Quarter Horse named "Chub" was one of the three quarter horse stallions that farrier Dale Taffer came to trim and shoe. Taffer specializes in any number of different horse breeds and has a long history with gaited horses in particular. The above shown horse is one of the prize studs owned by Robert Dulies of Seymour, TN. </p>
Samantha Thornton
<p>Once the hoof wall has been clipped, Taffer files down the rough edges to create a smooth surface for the shoe to be correctly balanced on the hoof. </p>
Samantha Thornton
<p>Holding metal nails in his mouth, Taffer hammers the shoe in place. Precision is key in this step due to the delicacy of the hoof. If he were to strike the nail one centimeter too close to the quick, the tender inside portion of the hoof, the horse could go lame. </p>
Samantha Thornton
<p>Before Taffer is finished he must use this tool to curl the end of the clipped nail to rest flush on the horse's hoof. He then takes his filing tool to smooth the edges of the nail and flatten it against the hoof wall. Failure to observe these finishing touches correctly can result in discomfort and sometimes accidental injury. </p>
Samantha Thornton
<p>After the shoe is correctly in place, Taffer trims the pointed nails still protruding from the outer hoof wall. </p>
Samantha Thornton
<p>Taffer uses razor sharp tools to cut the outer wall of the horse's hoof before applying the shoe. Horse shoes must be reset every four to six weeks because the outer wall of the hoof continues to grow throughout the life of the animal. If a hoof is not properly trimmed the horse can suffer from minor to sever cracking that may sometimes result in lameness.</p>
Samantha Thornton
<p>Here Taffer is observing the urethane shoe that he will set on the horse's hoof. The shoe is made out of the same material that is used for the wheels on most skateboards. This new shoe issued by Ground Control Horse Shoes is designed to provide both excellent traction and natural shock absorption. They are preferable for horses suffering from lameness or arthritis. Taffer is the only farrier in East Tennessee who uses the urethane shoe.</p>
Samantha Thornton
<p>Taffer begins his work by assessing the horse's hooves. He is known for being able to see minute angle differences between hooves that may sometimes cause lameness in some horses. Taffer prides himself in being able to pinpoint the slightest problem and determine the best measures to correct the issue. His attention to detail can add years to a horse's life.</p>
Samantha Thornton
<p>This stallion is five-year-old grulla colored American Quarter Horse. He was one of the three stud quarter horses Dale Taffer was hired to trim and shoe February 28<sup>th</sup>, 2007.</p>
