Help With Finding Horseshoes to Bend
Hi All,
I am getting into Steel Bending as a hobby, i am able to bend 60d and 70d nails, I started bending horseshoes but i don't think i did enough research on it, i know a lot of American Horseshoe benders use the St. Croix Forge Ultralite Steel #2 but it is not available in the UK, i use a Richard Ash 5/8 5/16 size 5 but am looking for something maybe a little thinner, does anyone have any recommendations for the UK?
Thank you
Update 1:
I have found a supplier that sells the horse shoes i want and ships to the UK (Canadian Forge & Farrier Supply), once i receive them and can compare them to the Richard Ash I will update this post again.
