It's your elbow! If you're only planning on shoeing for just a week or two, don't worry about it. IF being a farrier is your career and a few hundred horses are depending on you for their podiatry comfort, that elbow's got to last a long time!
There's never been anything to equal the Anvil Stump! Travel friendly and easy on the arm, nothing takes out the vibration yet retains as lively as an anvil. The Anvil Stump's light weight, adjustable aluminum legs make packing up and moving to the next stable a breeze. You don't have to bolt it, chain it or use hydraulic clamps to keep it where it needs to be! Just drop your anvil between four aluminum anvil lugs and beat hot iron to your heart's content. Your elbow will thank you in the morning!
