The Structure of the Horse's Foot and the Principles of Shoeing

"The Structure of the Horse's Foot and the Principles of Shoeing" is a concise but comprehensive guide to farriery, with a special focus on the anatomy of the horse's foot and its common ailments. With large, detailed illustrations and simple directions, this volume will be of utility to modern horse owners and farriers, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of vintage equestrian literature. Contents include: "Anatomy of the Foot", "Functions of the Foot", and "Principles and Practice of Shoeing". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on maintaining and caring for horses.
