Mr -mutm Jmm ,
Jim Brown works carefully to place a shoe on one of
the hoofs of a horse. The procedure is a very
careful process that requires careful nailing of the
shoes onto the outside of the horse's hooves.

Houston Libraries plan variety
of activities for local students
Just as the schools prepare for
students to return to school, so do
the public libraries. The Houston
County Public Libraries have a
variety of activities in the Fall for
all ages of children.
Centerville and Perry are now
registering for Toddler time while
Warner Robins is scheduling
regular storytimes.
All day care centers, pre-schools,
and kindergartens are urged to call
now and confirm their time periods
for their library visits.
Don’t forget that teachers’ loans
are available for your classrooms.
Sheets explaining the program are

Teachers may also put materials
on reserve in the libraries to be used
there instead of being checked out.
This gives access to more students.
There are boxes of magazines
available to students for “cutting”
pictures for reports.
Staff members of the libraries
also invite parents of home
schoolers to visit the facilities and
make use of the available materials.

Brown discovers
niche in ‘shoes'
at Houston farm
BY PAULINE LEWIS
Staff Writer
The Perry area has lots of horses, enough to keep a full-time farrier (a
blacksmith who shoes horses) busy. Jim Brown has been a farrier for 20
years. He has a blacksmith shop in a building at Jerry Davis’ Houston
Lake farm which was a blacksmith shop many years ago.
Brown lives in Warner Robins but works in his shop at Houston Lake
full time, from 9 a.m. until dark. He says that there are not many people
in Georgia who shoe horses full time.
During my interview with Brown, he trimmed and filed the hooves of a
beautiful Tennessee Walking Horse, and fitted the animal widi shoes,
affixed them to the hooves with nails, driven through the holes in the
metal shoes.
The nail tips were then filed flush with the hooves so that they
wouldn’t snag on anything or injure the horses legs.
Brown has a mobile unit from which he can shoe horses on the owner’s
property; however, since he has a permanent shop, he prefers that the
horses be brought there where he is already set up to do the work.
In his shop he can control the environment by having a concrete floor
which can be washed down. By working out of ;his shop, he can keep a
schedule, which makes it easier for people to get their horses shod.
Early on, he plied his trade on horse farms in Augusta. He does
specialty shoeing for race horses and was apprenticed at Hawkinsville. He
is doing show horses now, averaging hundreds of shoes per month.
He buys 500 shoes per month and supplies of nails out of Marietta.
Some of the shoes are made in England, some in Germany and some in
the United States. Some are pre-punched with holes for nails; some are
straight bars that Brown has to shape.
Brown shoes for cutting horse shows, usually replacing all four shoes.
Brown learned the blacksmithing business in Ohio where he was reared
near a race track. He groomed horses and was apprenticed under two men.
He attends all seminars to keep up with the latest equipment, their sources,
trends and innovations in the business.
“I meet lots of interesting people and some celebrities. I never know
for what purpose I’ll shoe a horse -show business, riding club, cutting
horse or some other. I have different types of shoes for the different work
or tasks the animal will be doing,” he said
Brown says that he welcomes guests who are interested in watching
him while he works. He has a way with animals and certainly seems to
enjoy working with them.
artists and craftsmen from across
the country, the delicious food of
local civic organizations and many
more attractions as the weekend
moves along.

Bamesville Buggy Days, call the
Chamber of Commerce office at

Students and parents
are urged to plan ahead
for reports. The inter
library loan service is a
great source of material
The library needs at least
a week to 10 days to
have the material.
By using the renewing service,
home schoolers may have use of
their books for up to six weeks just
as teachers.
Students and parents are urged to
plan ahead for reports. The inter
library loan service is a great source
of material, but the library needs at
least a week to ten days to have the
material for you. Inter-library loan
is available through any of the
public libraries.
All the libraries are open at least
one night and every Saturday for
your convenience. Visitors are
encouraged to ask the staff for
assistance.
Jim Brown watches a
horse shoe heat up in a
furnace designed to
reach temperatures in
excess of 300 degrees.
The furnace is used
daily, allowing the shoe
to become more versatile
so that Brown can make
an exact fit for the horses
he re-shoes.
