the city of Detroit employs a horseshoer.
I believe the official job title is Ferrier.
My great uncle learned to be Ferrier during WWI and practiced in Hempstead NY until the mid 1950s when the demand for his services dwindled.
Too bad he didn't live in Detroit - he could still be drawing a paycheck - even though he died in the '60s.

It's 'Farrier' and this story needs to go viral. People need to understand that Unions are not good!

Not to worry - even if he can't get paid the Democrats will make sure he still votes at least two or three times each election...
(Not slamming your great uncle of course, may he rest in peace - just noting the indecency of the left)

We have some traveling ferrier's around here.......
I've shod a horse before...it's back breaking work. Not something I'd want to do for a living.
