#and the farriers themselves seemed really levelheaded and skilled and handled the horses with such great care and meticulousness

A weird thing that helped me figure out how to draw horses (mostly the legs that I struggled with) was watching those horse shoeing videos on YouTube. There are tons of them, and often you'll find videos working on different breeds of horses so you get some different body types to look at as well

Oh I know those! I went through a farrier video phase a few years ago.
