Back then you could not just go down to the store and buy what ever you needed when something broke. You had to fix it and that's one reason why they had a blacksmith. The blacksmiths job was to basically make or fix anything out of iron, but that's not all the blacksmith did. Since the blacksmith worked with metal he made and put horse shoes on horses. Since the blacksmith was working with the horse to put the shoes on they got to know some of the diseases that some horses have. so because of that the were also used as a vet.
