Veterinary Medicine Series No. 19 - The Art Of Horse-Shoeing - A Manual For Farriers And Veterinarians (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781446508152)

This volume comprises a comprehensive manual for farriers and veterinarians. This text was originally intended for three classes of readers: for the horse-owners who may interest themselves in the subject, for farriers looking to develop their shoeing, and for veterinary students who have to be examined. Despite its age, much of the information contained herein is timeless, and will still be of considerable value to modern readers. The chapters of this book include: 'Form and Action of the Foot', 'Preparation of Hood for Shoeing', 'Foals and Unshod Feet', 'The Form and Manufacture of Shoes', 'Selection of a Shoe', 'Fitting and Application of Shoes', 'On Roughing', 'Injuries Resulting from Shoeing', 'Shoeing Bad Feet', etcetera. We are proud to be republishing this antique book now complete with a new introduction on the care and management of horses.
