LUCAN - A.lot of people think
about starting their own business,
but don't want to risk the security
of a steady income. With the on-
going recession, this security is
gone for many, so the risk is notas
great.
That's the case for Larry Forrest
who has turned a sideline job' as

15 horses.
With the help of'his wife Julie,
Forrest is _able to keep the daily
schedule organized.

Forrest started working as a
blacksmith when he was 14. "But I
wasn't confident enough to do other
people's horses until I was 16."
He said shoeing a horse, known
as trimming, isn't difficult to do;
but it -does take a lot of practice.
"I've been called to a couple plac-
es where the owner has tried to do
it and given up," he said. "If you
don't know what you're doing you
can lame the horse."
Simple things such as the direc-
tion of shoe nail are important.
"The flat side of•the nail has to be
casut"when hammering iti1; if not
you'll have the horse jump.et'best
or cause bleeding."
A blacksmith • must also know
what kind of shoe to put on the
:horse and what size. He can usually
guess the shoe size just by looking
ratthe horse.
'There are also different types of
