> The rules aren't that complicated are they? If you've spent thousands getting your horse there and he's about to be disqualified because his shoe has spread from it's original form, yeah, you're going to be happy there is a farrier on hand to quickly re-shoe him.
This actually happened to a horse that was shod by a non-Icelandic farrier with regular keg shoes before leaving home, the shoe had flattened out some and was a hair too wide and the horse would have been disqualified. It was quickly re-shod and went on to be evaluated. I believe they have since changed the rules slightly to allow for minute changes to a shoe due to spreading after it is applied. They are VERY strict about adhering to the rules regarding shoes, protective boots, etc. at an evaluation.
