The proper term is farrier.

Yep - but in today's PC world some may think it as a slur calling someone "fairier" than them other fairies....

I was picturing myself as Joe Average. I think you are right, looking around this strange new world, I’m not average anymore.

“At least give him a useful job of chasing prostitute off street corners as a whoreshooer.”

Or ‘ho-shooer. Rolls off the tongue better. :)

“DWSD has a blacksmith shop in our Central Services Facility,” Edwards said. The shop “also ... repairs equipment and works with various metals and welding for the department when needed.” The horseshoer now works at the Central Services Facility.

The city pays $29,245 in salary and about $27,000 in benefits for the horseshoer position.


I knew there was more to it than the headline.
