A stable boy at 12, a horse shoer at 14 on the sidewalks of San Francisco, and still proud to ply his trade today as he approaches his 73rd birthday--that's the life story of EdGrady, 188 1/2 SquirrelCreekRd., Grass Valley, still active despite a near fatal heart attack six years ago. ; Grady who shod all the horses at the Treasure Island World's Fair is well known as a master of his craft among horsemen throughout the state, and was brought to Grass Valley by Henry Freitas, manager of Loma Rica Thoroughbredranch, following his attack. Grady recalls,"I wasn't able to work for a year, but my first iob
here was 40 head for Loma Rica-I was proud to do it." : Helen, his wife of 36 years, relates that the doctor ordered an altitude of 2000 feet, or oxygen in the house at all times. "Grass Valley has been goodtohim, he now :shoes-two=head:a day, and his health isexcellent. " The couple reared four children,’sons Par and John and daughters Mrs. Catherine Hayes of Burlingame and Mrs, Cecilia McDouell of San Jose. Pat took over his dad's horse shoeing business in the penninsula, and John isa carpenter in San Jose. All 11 grandchildren like to visit Grass Valley and ride grampa's horses, Mrs, Grady says. Not all of them have roomto keep horses of their own. Grady recalls setting up his first shop at age 14 in 1906 just three months after the San Francisco quake, "Ishod them right on the ) sidewalk, no one could get lumberto build. I was busy then and I've been busy every since. ” He spent 35 years shoeing horses in Redwood City, and has worked at his trade now for 58 years. Itwas at the San Francisco Exposition that he shod the "biggest horse in the world” with a back, he says, like a double bed. "It took 36 inches of iron to make one shoe~-a yard around. The horse weighed 3, 600 pounds, and when they took him for a walk, he broke the sidewalk and it cost the owner $3000 to repair it!" He recalls also shoeing the world's smallest horse in 1910 at the Pantagestheater. "It weighed 96 pounds and I had to get down on the floor to work. “ He has also shod a horse billed as the "smartest horse in the world", and although he has forgotten the owner's name he still remembers the horse's tricks, done without any sign or contact, only by oral direction. . Heart Attack Doesn’t Stop Shoer "He really was the smartest. ’ His owner lived with him from the time he was a colt. He could do "anything. He shut doors, picked up tack, shoved intruders aside. He picked up his sore hoof to show me which one to be careful of, " As a family man he recalls taking a truckload of children to Yosemite every year. He currently assists with children's over night trail rides with the Nevada County Horsemen's association. Both his wife and he are active members ’ of the group. Grady keeps two horses of his own now, his big buckskin, appropriately named “Buck”, and his bay pacer, “Don”, now 25, w hich he purchased as a threeyear-old, A proudold gent in worn bluejeans, wearing an old straw hat and fitting his big buckskin horse like a fixture, can be sé€en almost everyday riding along local highways and byways and refusing to head intothe sunset.
