irnsrgn Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 what you are calling a creaser, fuller or butcher among some things is a side set for the initial setting or defining of a boss or shoulder before the metal to the side of it is drawn down or out as some say.

Don A Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 It's called a twitch, and is used to put around a horse's head/mouth when they're being difficult, the theory is that it's not comfortable for them and it keeps their mind off the fact that they're getting shoed. I've seen these use by old farriers; not sure how common they might still be. They would pull the disagreeable horse's upper lip out and clamp the twitch down on it. The theory was that it might hurt a little bit if he stands real still, but it hurts like the dickens if he starts jerking around. So he learns real quick to be real still. If anyone happens to have one of those big binder clips, a 2 lb weight and some extra time on your hands, you could run a few tests on yourself to see if this theory actually works. Let us know how it goes. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
