Can they be shoed at all?
"Somehow Good"
William de Morgan
Never faster had prince ridden From the place of Persian devils, Where its huge and inky bastions Frowned across the golden levels; Nor before had faster travelled Scion of the equine brood Than that day, that day of portent, Galloped she the silver-shoed.
"A Legend of Old Persia and Other Poems"
A. B. S. Tennyson
And look here"-he lifted a forefoot and showed the scales on the frog and sole of the hoof-"last time you shoed this hoss you done a sloppy job, son.
"Way of the Lawless"
Max Brand
