Her friends get in her shoeing truck & say it smells, & she says it smells like money.

The only apron she puts on has pockets for her hoof knifes.

When she's at the beach, she has the best looking legs there, along with the ugliest bruises.

When someone mentions eggs, she thinks of forging a pair of egg bar shoes.

Every time she studies a piece of metalwork in a store, she thinks she can make it in her shop.

She gets more excited going into a hardware store than going to a fancy restaurant.

She takes the "light" 90-pound anvil on the road & leaves the 200-pounder at home in the shop.

When the guy at the grocery store asks if she needs help to carry the groceries, she just laughs.

Her bedtime reading consists of the American Farriers Journal & the Professional Farrier, not Cosmopolitan.

Getting dressed up means she takes off her baseball hat, puts on clean Wranglers, & shoes without steel toes.

Her hands always smell like a hoof regardless of what kind of hand lotion she tries.

Her ring size is 10, & she has calluses on calluses from forging.

A shopping spree means a trip to the farrier supply shop to restock her truck.

GE means her favorite hoof nippers & not a new stove.
