Practical and Scientific Horseshoeing

First published in 1912, this book contains a comprehensive guide to horseshoeing, with chapters on scientific theory, anatomy, practical methodology, common problems and ailments, and much more. Profusely illustrated and easy-to-follow, "e;Practical and Scientific Horseshoeing"e; is highly recommended for modern horse owners and farriers, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of vintage equestrian literature. Contents include: "e;Discussion on Shoeing"e;, "e;Anatomy and Physiology of the Horses Foot"e;, "e;Normal Shoeing"e;, "e;Shoeing for Gaits"e;, "e;Diseases of the Feet. Pathological Shoeing"e;, "e;Miscellaneous Hints"e;, "e;The Bones of the Leg"e;, "e;The Foot"e;, "e;The Foot and the Pastern Axis"e;, "e;The Prepared Foot"e;, "e;Level of the Foot"e;, "e;Special Shoes for Correcting Faults in Gaits"e;, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. 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.
