The Croft etc, blog 2.

Now that I had made my way into the community, I had really started with my journey of life.
I remember so well standig at the smiddy door, so many times since that first time.
Few people now-a-days could hardly imagine what it could have possibly been like to experience what went on there.
In this work place,the black smith, carried out numerous tasks related to crofts and crofting.He repaired implements sharpened various tools,and,to me,most important of all, shoed horses.
Clydesdale horses, in those days were the pride of any crofting community,they were the work animals.
These extraordinery animals were treated according to their special quest in life-to haul,push and shove since they were first broken into various implements, and commenced their life of hard toil.
It was a never-to-be-forgotten experience,then, to watch one of these beasts being shoed-the work and the industry which transpired to fit two pair of new horse shoes.
The blacksmith sweated profusely as he worked at each hoof in turn: The old shoe had to be removed;the hooves completely cleaned and shaped to perefectly hold the new shoes.
As well as this the smith had to work the forge and shape on the anvil.
This became my much respected experience as a child.
