a village smith who contradicts the
Until the first of June last year, when I chanced to buy my daughter Diana a horse, I, like most other horseless citizens, was unaware of the fact that blacksmiths still ply their trade. I did not question the existence of smiths. I simply did not ever think about them.
But then Little Man arrived and Diana decided she would trot him down the macadam road to show him to her friends at school. The trouble was, he had no shoes. And so a cheerful blacksmith came into our lives.
Bill Brennan showed up at my place in a battered yellow pickup truck and parked beneath our spreading filbert trees. As he emerged from the cab and slammed the door there was no mistaking his occupation. From his long, curly brown hair,roger vivier boots, past his grinning imp's face, past brawny arms and chest that swelled his dirty T shirt, past the rawhide chaps from which his steel-toed boots peered-a mighty man was he.
With a large and sinewy hand Brennan picked up Little Man's left foreleg,giuseppe zanotti outlet, then turned to the bed of the truck for tools and the proper size of shoe. There he kept his forge, which looked more like a 50-gallon drum with a half moon cut out of one side. His anvil was in the truck as well,roger vivier online, and a supply of horseshoes of every conceivable size: clean new horseshoes from the foundry,Roger vivier uk, rusted shoes that had been rattling around in the back of the truck for some time, and discarded shoes that had been thrown in the back as new ones were fitted to Blacksmith Brennan's clientele.
From the truck Brennan lifted a heavy wooden tray in which reposed his basic tools: clippers,roger vivier heels, a small claw hammer, a double handful of shiny, flat-sided, tapered shoeing nails and a rasp. He found the shoes, and then, after some consultation,roger vivier pilgrim shoes, we led Little Man into the garage, where Brennan would work on an even concrete floor-a matter of some interest to him, since there he could move more quickly to escape any left-hoof jabs that might be thrown.
Little Man had been touted to us for his gentility, and he quite lived up to that billing. With all the aplomb of his 10-year-old mistress acquiring a new pair of sneakers, he let Brennan pick up his hoofs, one by one. By this time an audience of enthusiasts-none but myself past 11-had gathered to observe the ceremonies. Brennan grinned at them, crinkled eyes laughing through the tan, and made sure only that all were out of range before he got to work. He was quite used to working before a crowd.
His first move was to clip the dirty, ragged excess growth from Little Man's hoof. As he did so, an acrid, unpleasant, fleshy smell filled the air of the garage. Noses were held, and breaths exhaled loudly,Roger vivier outlet, amid an off-beat chorus of the ancient question:
Assured with a chuckle by the blacksmith that it was essentially the same as mother's paring of their own grimy fingernails, the experts quieted down.
The slough was cut away, and the rasp was passed over the hoof with a few quick pulls. The blacksmith picked up a handful of nails, transferred them to his mouth,roger vivier sale, and locked the horse's hoof in a viselike grip between his knees. A few quick taps, driving the nails in at an angle and the shoe was on. The nails, which protruded through the sides of the hoof,roger vivier shoes, were cut and bent over. In 10 minutes the entire job was finished, and the youngsters were scrambling in the back of the truck for ancient,roger vivier sandals, used symbols of good luck. Blacksmith Brennan was ready to move on to the next stable after a friendly tip to me to watch the horse's feet to note when his hoofs outgrew his shoes.
