Wes invented glue ons? That's funny because when i trained a horse named Colonel Rumbo in So. Cal in 1992 no blacksmith on the grounds knew how use the equilox method of putting shoes on without nails. Wes included. A blacksmith from Los Alamitos named Will McDounagh not only shod the horse, but also taught any blacksmith that was interested..

Not only is Walter Ray Williams Jr. the best horseshoer I've ever seen - but he's also one hell of a bowler as well.

And Tony Amato, Ray's brother, I believe, had the meanest left hook on the racetrack.
