About this postcard

Two men tend a horse in an open field. One bends over the animal's front leg to examine the hoof while the other kneels nearby; a bucket and tools rest on the ground. A rail fence and a tree frame the background. The tools and setting suggest routine hoof care, work that farriers and veterinarians performed regularly when horses powered farm and city transport.
