标 题: 爱尔兰小伙在重庆钉马蹄 有钉蹄师硕士学历(图)

9日，亚瑟要把3厘米长的钢钉钉进马蹄里。
全世界目前获得钉蹄师硕士学历的只有144人
随着高档马会的入驻，马术渐渐被都市新贵看好，外国膘肥浑厚的纯种马来了，蓝眼睛、白皮肤的27岁爱尔兰钉蹄师亚瑟(Arthur Judge)今年3月也来到重庆，服务于凤凰湾马会。他的职业是钉蹄师，就是给马儿修蹄钉蹄。
昨天，晨报记者在马会亚瑟工作室见到他时，亚瑟正在给一匹棕色大马“钉鞋钉”。可别小看这位“做鞋匠”，据马会负责人说，人家可是有钉蹄师硕士学历的，而全世界目前有这个学历的不过144人，整个中国亚瑟是唯一拿到此证书的。
没有一只马蹄是相同的
说是工作室，实为马会的一间马厩。亚瑟的工作室里，钉子、戳子、磨具、锤子井井有条地陈列着，既像个铸铁车间，又像放大版的美甲室。
“马的脚底跟人的手指甲一样，是要生长的，如果不平，不穿上鞋，会影响行动，更别说奔跑了。”亚瑟的工作就是先把马的脚底长出来的部分磨平，然后根据马蹄的形状，打制出合适的“鞋子”，最后用3公分厚的铁钉，钉上蹄铁。
亚瑟说，最有挑战性的部分是打出大小合适的蹄铁，需要用火将金属烧软，然后打造出软硬和形状都适用的马蹄铁，“这就要依赖于高超的技术和丰富的经验了。”
“这是个体力活，需要大量的经验和耐心，所以全球拿到硕士学历的很少。”亚瑟说，跟人的指纹一样，马的脚蹄也没有一模一样的。“12岁就开始给马儿们做鞋，已经15年了，我都记不起做了多少双鞋了。”
职业有风险偶尔被马踢
恰巧有一匹马需要钉蹄，亚瑟向我们展示了整个过程。
只见他将马需要换蹄铁的那条腿抬起，马蹄夹在自己两腿之间，拿出钉子，卸下旧的蹄铁，然后打磨马掌，“就像剪指甲，美甲一样。”除了一把戳子，全靠亚瑟的眼睛校对平整度。
再把事先准备好的新蹄铁换对位置，钉上新蹄铁，打磨调整。
虽然亚瑟身高1米9，但在欧洲纯种马的映衬下，显得“矮小”一大截。天天和这些大型动物接触，有没有危险呢？“当然有！”亚瑟说，马跟人一样，不同品种的马，有不同的个性。亚瑟坦言，工作中被马踢的情况时有发生，“但我很幸运，都不严重。”
钉马掌要专业学位
亚瑟出生在一个农场，他打趣地说，“也许出生后几个小时，就看见过马。”所以，亚瑟对马有一种特殊的感情。
从小在马背上长大，但他却无意成为一名骑手，却偏爱敲敲打打地为它们“美甲做鞋”。
12岁那年，他开始在当地的一家马场钉马掌了。2009年，23岁的亚瑟荣获钉蹄师学位，2010年荣获爱尔兰钉蹄师学校钉蹄师硕士学位。
亚瑟介绍，不光是在爱尔兰，欧洲不少国家都有专业的钉蹄师学校，“这样的学校很普遍，一个人如果有成为一名钉蹄师的意愿，他从10多岁开始就得接受这方面系统的培训，包括许多理论课。由于钉蹄师对实践经验要求很高，所以当大学毕业后，还必须从事4年的钉马掌工作，然后才能进行硕士阶段的学习。”
马每4周换一次鞋
今年3月，因为一位爱尔兰老乡的推荐，亚瑟来到凤凰湾马会，与重庆结缘。
亚瑟在重庆的生活很简单，很多时间都呆在马会。一句中文也不会说的亚瑟，虽然大部分时间生活在重庆，但对于这座城市，他知之甚少。
他经常要当“空中飞人”，因为他是全国唯一有硕士资质的钉蹄师，很多其它地区的马会会邀请他过去“做鞋”。一匹马一般4到5周换一次马蹄铁，每个月，他会尽量安排在12天内把重庆马会的工作全部完成，其余时间北京、上海、广州、韩国到处飞。 | h*****t

英语：Farrier
法语：Ferrier （铁匠），英语的“铁匠”叫Blacksmith.
铁：
英语：iron
法语：fer
拉丁语： ferrum
所以，英语的“钉蹄匠”就是来自法语名词“铁匠”。
英语词汇起码三分之二都来自法语。

Farrier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A farrier is a specialist in equine hoof care, including the trimming and
balancing of horses' hooves and the placing of shoes on their hooves, if
necessary. A farrier combines some blacksmith's skills (fabricating,
adapting, and adjusting metal shoes) with some veterinarian's skills (
knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the lower limb) to care for
horses' feet.
History and ceremonial[edit]
Historically, the jobs of farrier and blacksmith were practically synonymous
, shown by the etymology of the word: farrier comes from Middle French:
ferrier (blacksmith), from the Latin word ferrum (iron).[1] A farrier's work
in colonial America or pre-Industrial Revolution Europe would have included
horseshoeing, as well as the fabrication and repair of tools, the forging
of architectural pieces, etc. Modern day farriers usually specialize in
horseshoeing, focusing their time and effort on the care of the horse's hoof
. For this reason, farriers and blacksmiths are considered to be in separate
, albeit related, trades.
In the British Army, the Household Cavalry have farriers who march in parade
in ceremonial dress, carrying their historical axes with spikes. They are a
familiar sight at the annual Trooping the Colour. There is also a farrier
on call "round the clock, twenty-four hours a day, at Hyde Park Barracks."[2]
In the United Kingdom, the Worshipful Company of Farriers is one of the
Livery Companies of the City of London. The Farriers, or horseshoe makers,
organised in 1356. It received a Royal Charter of incorporation in 1571.
Over the years, the Company has evolved from a trade association for
horseshoe makers into an organisation for those devoted to equine welfare,
including veterinary surgeons.
Work[edit]
A farrier's routine work is primarily hoof trimming and shoeing. In ordinary
cases, it is important to trim each hoof so it retains its proper
orientation to the ground. If the animal has a heavy work load, works on
abrasive footing, needs additional traction, or has pathological changes in
the hoof, then shoes may be required.
Additional tasks for the farrier include dealing with injured or diseased
hooves and application of special shoes for racing, training or "cosmetic"
purposes. Horses with certain diseases or injuries may need remedial
procedures for their hooves, or need special shoes.
As a service based industry, farriers must combine technical competence with
horsemanship and the ability to deal with clients. Self-employed farriers
and those in partnerships may also require skill in running a small business.
Qualifications[edit]
In countries such as the United Kingdom, it is illegal for people other than
registered farriers to call themselves a farrier or to carry out any
farriery work (in the UK this is under the Farriers (Registration) Act 1975)
.[3] The primary aim of the Act is to "prevent and avoid suffering by and
cruelty to horses arising from the shoeing of horses by unskilled persons".
However, in other countries, such as the United States, farriery is not
regulated, no legal certification exists,[4] and qualifications can vary. In
the US, three organizations - the American Farrier's Association (AFA); the
Guild of Professional Farriers (GPF); and the Brotherhood of Working
Farriers (BWFA) maintain voluntary certification programs for farriers. Of
these, the AFA's program is the largest with approximately 2800 certified
farriers.[citation needed] Additionally, the AFA program has a reciprocity
agreement with the Farrier Registration Council and the Worshipful Company
of Farriers in the UK.
Within the certification programs offered by the AFA and the GPF, all
farrier examinations are conducted by peer panels. The farrier examinations
for both organizations are designed so that qualified farriers may obtain a
formal credential indicating they meet a meaningful standard of professional
competence as determined by technical knowledge and practical skills
examinations, length of field experience, and other factors.[5][6] Farriers
who have received a certificate of completion for attending a farrier school
or course may represent themselves as having completed a particular course
of study. Sometimes, usually for purposes of brevity, they use the term "
certified" in advertising.
Where professional registration exists, on either a compulsory or voluntary
basis, there is often a requirement for continuing professional development
activity to maintain a particular license or certificatation. For instance,
farriers voluntarily registered with the American Association of
Professional Farriers (AAPF) require at least 16 hours of continuing
education every year to maintain their accreditation.[7] | k********k

Farrier 是“钉蹄匠”的意思。
Master在这里是“师傅”，“大师”的意思，不是“硕士”的意思。
