Horseshoeing

"e;Horseshoeing"e; is a 1903 handbook on farriery by John W. Adams. A wonderfully-detailed and profusely-illustrated guide, this volume will appeal to horse owners and farriers, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage equestrian literature. Contents include: "e;Gross Anatomy of the Foot"e;, "e;Bones"e;, "e;Hinge Joints"e;, "e;Tendons and Flexors"e;, "e;Foot Axis"e;, "e;Lateral Cartilages and Plantar Cushion"e;, "e;Pododerm (Foot Skin)"e;, "e;Horny Box, or Hoof"e;, "e;Bars"e;, "e;The Frog"e;, "e;The Hoof"e;, "e;Physiological Movements of the Hoof"e;, "e;Growth of the Hoof"e;, "e;Care of Unshod Hoofs"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.
