by the way I do make horseshoes -
John B your spot on 1 good hit is all it takes none of this tapping I see so often
the fence idea is good I use to use this but you still have to get your spacing correct
Beth when you are using stamps and your fingures are about an inch away from the steel trust me you dont want it too hot also the steel will be cleaner

Hi Mark
Heres my 2 cents worth I do letter punch stamping all the time and have found free had to work best for me stamping into hot material [black heat] gives best results also I find the when placing each stamp the first position is usually the best the more I fidle fart around trying to line up each letter the harder it is
there is a set of interchangable stamps you can buy made by pryor very costly but do work well iI use them in a presS
Good luck

Looks Like Randy has come out of the closet and made his first HORSESHOE
Caleb went down the shed I had a piece of hoof the same as in your pic but I must have chucked it out in my last big clean up
not too sure about the race horse question but I would guess they would have used lighter HORSESHOES on them plus they would have been weighted BUTIDOSTANDTOBECORECTED
But I never had much to do with the race horse side of HORSESHOES
Going by the pictures of all the HORSESHOES in the shop they wouldnt have used any of them on a pacer or trotter
