Figuring Out How to Build the Z Bar Heartbar Shoe - Ft Worth World Championship Blacksmiths Contest
It's time to start practicing for the next contest! I signed up for the World Championship Blacksmiths competition in Ft Worth, Texas. The shoes on this list are very tough so it's time I start cracking on with the hardest one for me, the Z Bar Heartbar Horseshoe. There's probably multiple different ways a guy can make this shoe but I think I've figured out the easiest way for myself to build this shoe. Thankfully my friend, Troy Wood, shared his method with me and now I'm giving it a go here. Hopefully this helps some of you that are going to the contest or just enjoy watching shoes get made.
