1. Title: "A Traditional Farriery Training Session: Somerset County Council's Mobile Workshop Circa 1900" In this evocative photograph, we witness a captivating scene of horses being shod alongside a travelling farriery training van operated by the Somerset County Council. Dating back to approximately 1900, this image offers a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing the essential role horses played in our history and the importance of farriery training. The horses, with their calm and patient demeanour, stand obediently as skilled farriers work diligently to ensure their hooves are well-maintained. The farriery van, a mobile workshop of sorts, serves as a testament to the dedication of the Somerset County Council in providing essential services to the community. The presence of children in the background, peering curiously from the windows of a nearby children's home or care facility, adds an extra layer of depth to this image. It is a reminder of the social welfare services that were in place during this era, catering to the needs of orphans and other vulnerable children. The farriery training van, an integral part of the council's services, played a crucial role in ensuring that horses, which were a primary mode of transportation and labour, remained healthy and able to perform their duties effectively. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the symbiotic relationship between humans and horses, and the importance of skilled trades in maintaining that bond. This image, with its rich historical context, is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on rural life, horse care, or the evolution of social services. It is a testament to the past and a reminder of the importance of preserving our history for future generations.
