Horse Shoeing
About Horse Shoeing
Two men work in a blacksmith shop. One shoes a horse and drives a nail into the hoof. The other heats iron at the forge. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle of May 10, 1893, described that routine from the Kinetoscope showing the day before.

Preservation
The National Film Preservation Foundation calls the horseshoeing view from May 9, 1893, lost. Blacksmithing Scene, shown the same day, survives.
Notes
- Silent Era identifies W. K. L. Dickson as the man with his hand on the horse's back.
- The film shown with it, Blacksmithing Scene, has Edison employees Charles Kayser and John Ott forging iron and passing a bottle. That print survives at the Museum of Modern Art.
