They nail shoes on the feet of the horses. Millions of o'clock.

At the London premiere of the latest Marvel film “Thunderbolts” last month, the usual amount was invited: models, celebrities and Hollywood types. His tattoos, which looked out of his button down, was a less typical invited guest: a 32-year-old man who makes his lively nail shoes on the feet of the horses.

Nobody was surprised when a farrier from West Yorkshire, England, grabbed an invitation to a film premiere as the man himself. For half a life, Samuel Wolfenden, in addition to his father, submitted in his Black Forest business in Halifax in Halifax, west of Leeds, SW -Farns, Hufne in the relative darkness in relative darkness. He was happy to hammer shoes on the overgrown hooves of strong suffolk punch horses and Little Dales ponies and go to bed in his hometown, satisfied with the polished horses he had left behind.

Then, two years ago, he supported his cell phone in his toolbox with Rasps and Nippers in the barn as he put a shoe on a shaggy shire horse and a plate.

“I wanted a portfolio of what I do to look back,” said Wolfenden in an interview in May and remembered why he posted this 10-second clip on Instagram before going to bed that evening. “I woke up the next day and had millions of views; I had one hundred thousand supporters,” he added. “It was wild.”

The combination of delightful animals, good-looking men (and some women) and the satisfaction of observing a shabby hoof is as if for the millions of human many with nothing to do with horses that seem to be in terms of content.
