I would tend to walk away unless you have endless time and patience and desperately want this horse.
My farrier (who is also a close friend) was bruised and battered by a horse which "climbed over him" on Friday evening. He is a patient, easy going bloke and my horse, who reared the first time he shod him, stood like a statue for a trim in his stable last night so I am quite sure the farrier was not to blame for Friday night's incident.
He has now refused to shoe this particular horse again becase he values not only his legs, which are sore and swollen, but even more so his head.
