Read somewhere that a hot shoe can get up to 200 degrees in just a few seconds, which is wild. Heard a story about a farrier who dropped one on a concrete floor and you could see the steam rise off it.

Had a buddy last summer whose gelding got a hot shoe right on the pastern. Horse kicked out something fierce and took a chunk out of the barn wall before they could get the shoe off. Took three months for that leg to heal up proper. Folks don't realize how fast that heat can transfer through the hoof.
