The Tablet above the Door reads: "Gentlemen, as you pass by, pray on this shoe cast your eye. If it's too strait we'll make it wider. Twill ease the horse and please the rider. If lame by shoeing (as they sometimes are), you can have them eased with the greatest of care." Dedicated to my wife, Jodi. (She is descended from a line of Blacksmiths.)
