Text-Book of Horseshoeing

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The inauguration of the law requiring horseshoers to be ex amined emphasizes the need of a brief and easily understood text-book on theoretical and practical horseshoeing. At the re quest of the Royal Veterinary Commission, in charge of the Royal Veterinary School in Dresden, and many interested individuals, I have attempted to meet this need by condensing within the narrowest possible limits all that is essential to the horseshoer in the practice of his profession. The subject-matter has been cast into a logically arranged course of instruction; all that is superfluous and is found only in exhaustive treatises on shoeing has been omitted.
