  • This is a very interesting album. Smithies or blacksmiths as we call them are increasingly rare in this country and I have never actually seen a horse being shod. There is a lot of skill required both in the metalwork and in handling the horse. It is amazing how people have had enough sense to realise that horses were not meant to walk on stone and concrete and have developed a means of preventing their hooves from wearing down in the form of iron shoes, yet in the ciruses and zoos elephants have chronic arthritis and sores on their feet as a result of being made to stand on concrete all the time usually in their own bodily wastes. Again an example of good animal husbandry! Keep it up!
