This antique volume contains a comprehensive guide to, and technical manual for, horseshoeing. Written in clear, plain language and profusely illustrated with simple, helpful diagrams, this text contains much in the way of practical information that is still relevant today. It is thus an invaluable tool for the modern farrier. The chapters of this text include: Anatomy and Physiology of Horse's Foot, Pastern, and Legs; Horseshoer's Tools, Machine-Made Shoes, and Nails; Making Horseshoes from Bar Iron or Steel; Borium-Treated Horseshoes; Fundamentals of Shorseshoeing; Normal, Special, and Corrective Shoeing; etcetera.
