Notes	The "men in funny skirts" are farriers; they shoe horses. The technique they use is blacksmithing, but farriers are specific usually. There is a horse in the upper right of the picture (the back end of one). The farrier would put the horses hoof in the lap of the skirt. It would keep him from getting kicked in the privates!
