Looks at the work of Soutergate blacksmith John Coward as he shoes a horse and makes a horseshoe in his shop. The film begins with the blacksmith nailing in a horseshoe and using a rasp to file and trim the shoe and hoof. There is footage from inside the smithy where hot metal is shaped on an anvil and made into a horseshoe. The film then cuts to shots of the blacksmith hot shoeing a young horse, and the horse being ridden away down a village street. |
