the front hooves, which wear
quickly, but are lighter.
Since his schedule “can get
hectic I can have 5-6 in waiting
in line,” Alfano warms and pre
shapes shoes.
There is “a lot of variation in
what they (the horses) wear, de
pending on what part of the
country” the owners are from. “It
seems to be a territorial thing,
what they’re used to using.”

Shoes may be “tapped out for
calks,” which means that Alfano
puts holes in the shoes for calks,
long tapered pieces pointing
downward on the horse’s shoe to
prevent slipping. The calks are
not worn other than in the soft
medium of the show arena.
Although most of the horses
come to Alfano to be shod, he
does make occasional visits to the
barn for the young or flighty
horses.
“Sir Gallahad” gets some attention from Mario Marquez
and Albert Rodriguez, Honduras, after the horse has fin
ished competing.

“For the most part the horses
have been around a lot and han
dled a lot and are used to being
shod,” he said. “I have the most
problems with young horses.
They see other horses, carriages,
the ferris wheel, and a lot of new
things here that they won’t see
anywhere else,” he said.
Besides working at Devon, Al
fano shoes horses at 20-25 other
major horse shoes each year in
Pennsylvania.
