if my farrier ever showed up in a leather thong my horses would stampede. forgive me for this slightly bad language story. but I got a real hoot out of it when my farrier came. he lives near me and in our area you have to really keep on top of it or you'll get infested and overgrown with prickly pears. (wild cactus so bad if a horse gets one in his leg you need a knife to get it out, when i was a kid a spine went all the way through the sole of my shoe and halfway through my whole foot). Anyway, I asked if he still had prickly pear real bad at his place and he said "oh yeah, just awful bad! me and the wife started nicknaming em "the little bastards" and just as he said this I swear to god stonewall just threw his head up high and jerked his foot away. and I blurted "he thought you were calling his name since we call him that so much" hahahaha. that was a good one. we laughed and laughed about it, sorry.
