URGENT HELP ON \"HIPPOSANDALS!\"
#1
Hi everyone out there!!

I need as MUCH help as I can get URGENTLY (for TOMORROW!!) about hippo sandals.

A blacksmith is reconstructing these hipposandals with me tomorrow but I need to get as much information as possible about making them and putting them on.

I NEED SOME GOOD PICTURES OF HIPPO SANDALS BEING ATTACHED TO A HORSE'S HOOF.

Has anyone out there reconstructed a hippo sandal before? and has any pictures?

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Many, many thanks,

Catherine

P.S if anyone does have any pictues please send them to my email address [email protected]

Moira, in the end I went down to Devon and Dave Budd, originally an archaeologist who is now a blacksmith and makes many things including knives and tools, reconstructed the hipposandal for me. It worked so well and I will email you some pictures of the end product! Thanks for your help again! Catherine Tongue
