Horse and Farrier

A local Farrier, Sam, going about his job fitting new shoes to horses. He clearly has a love of horses and a close bond with "Dollee" who is more than happy to have Sam fit new shoes. The process is quite a spectacle with lots of smoke and steam, but painless to the horse. Sam's a mobile blacksmith and takes the tools of his trade with him around Calderdale, West Yorkshire, including an anvil and a mini furnace. The photographs were taken at a neighbours home in Todmorden West Yorkshire when the farrier came to visit.
