Official Legal Notices—sß Houston Times -Journal 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. For more information about Bamesville Buggy Days, call the Chamber of Commerce office at (404) 358-2732. 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.

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.
