The news from Delta Mustad hit the streets today: Capewell nails will no longer be made in America. Of course the company has big plans, but a chunk of US horse history ceases with this announcement.

Hoofcare Publishing and I wish all the employees of the Connecticut factory the very best in their new pursuits
