I like a little heavier truck anvil than most, and I make quite a few shoes at the horse. My anvil is a 124 pound Swedish Steel that is quite old. I recommend the JHM Journeyman and the Emerson 100 pound to my students. If you have a good stand that you can lock the anvil down to, it makes it work like it is heavier than it is.
