Not a big deal and most would not fool with it but I really like good feet on a horse. Sig had a small crack that was very superficial. This sand with no water can really dry them out. After looking it over I decided to score it up a bit in a stitch type pattern and then epoxy the hoof. If you can help one be perfect why not.
I also pounded a few shoes on after some trimming.

Been doing a lot of TSI work this last week and this week. Good time to let horse stand and get use to the heat. It was snowing two weeks ago and this week I was working and it was 89 degrees. This is a great investment to make in property. Not only does it cut down on fire hazard but it makes your property more usable, you get better airflow helping with mosquitoes, it help you healthy trees stay healthy, and it just looks better. This is a great alternative for forestry mulching . Less invasive and is get a lot more of the organic material off of the land. This helps with regeneration of desirable trees. Give a call for pricing. I have been doing this for many many years , have a lot of reference for this work in particular. Utilize your propert to its fullest.

This is how these walkways start to come together. My goal is to make them look like they have been there for 150 years and in a 150 years I want them to look the same.

The thickness on these stone varies a lot so you have to level every stone individually to match the rest of them. It is kind of an odd flow of setting the stone to be level with one another, to
Match the grade of the yard to some
Extent , and make it look somewhat natural. I like as much surface under the stone to be touching a solid base as possible. This helps keep the it set.

This was a little different cut on a little different rock. Cutting these rock with a chisel and hammer is a feel, it is learning the run of rock you are working with. Once you know,you can make very accurate cuts. And in my opinion the rocks you lay have more integrity than rocks cut with a saw.

This is a video my wife took today of me cutting some stone for a walkway. Each stone is cut to fit a certain way or to edge my form. When you hand cut a stone it weeds the good from the bad . This rock is and edge rock and need to have some
Strait lines to match the form. I mark it with a pencil or my chisel . This is a thinner rock , they cut different than a thicker one most times.
