  1. There are two forges in this parish. One of them is near the school and the other one is near the mail road. The smith can shoe wheels and repair them. If the horse stirs when he is shoeing him he says, "Whoa", and if he puts his head to the ground he says, "Hold up". The rule of the forge is First come first served". The smith has great strength and mustle to hold a filly while shoeing. They can stand great heat and can't bear the cold on account of the fire.
