As with their previous Cate Le Bon video, the excellent Hollow Trees House Hounds, Ewan Jones Morris and Casey Raymond conjure up all kind of weird and wonder stuff - this time not so much animation- as equine-based - for Shoeing The Bones.

What accounts for Cate's special bond with the horse (which includes being able to ride it without a saddle) Why does she daub her nose in gold paint And what exactly is that skull - and why is it covered in bacon Ewan mostly explains below. What's clear is that Cate loves that horse.
