OK, I was in a hurry and didn't spell check... I meant farrier, as in the
person who shoes horses, actually considered a different occupation from the
black smith who makes the shows. I also meant Cobbler, as in the person who
cures leather and makes shoes and makes, as opposed to a Hobbler which is used
to keep horses from running away!

| (...) A ferrier is someone who maintains or operates a ferry - fairly important work if your town is located near or on a river. Hobbler? No idea. A cobbler is a shoemaker, but that's the only similar sounding word I can think of. (24 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
