In the 1800's and early 1900's, the blacksmith was very important to every day life on Prince Edward Island. Blacksmiths made goods out of metal using a forge. You had to be very talented with metals and iron if you were going to be a blacksmith; you had to know how to work the metal or iron properly to be a good blacksmith. There was usually a blacksmith shop close to everybody's home back then.

Horse racing was a fun and active sport for the whole family. Horse racing is a sport when you sit on a sulky behind a horse holding onto the reins to help the horse steer. A sulky is a two wheeled bike. The wheels are side by side and between the two wheels there is a seat. In the late 1800's and early 1900's, a sulky was made out of wood, but today they can be made out of lots of materials.
