A DISAPPEARING KIND OF WORK. New York is one of the last large cities to have some of its policemen on horseback. The New York police have 170 horses, which use more than 8000 horseshoes a year. Keeping these shoes in good repairs is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirty-five blacksmith in the whole United States.
A blacksmith has to be able to shape a shoe from a plain piece of metal and then fit it to each horse. A blacksmith must work very hard, since he is bent over while fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horse’s leg at the same time.
Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. The cost of shoeing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars, and it takes skilled blacksmith two or three hours to do the job.
Clearly, a blacksmith must have great strength, but even more important, he must be able to deal with horses. For before the blacksmith can begin his work he has to get the horse to lift its leg.
