The Horseshoer - Technical Manual No. 2-220

This antique volume contains a comprehensive guide to, and technical manual for, horseshoeing. Written in clear, plain language and profusely illustrated with simple, helpful diagrams, this text contains much in the way of practical information that is still relevant today. It is thus an invaluable tool for the modern farrier. The chapters of this text include: Anatomy and Physiology of Horse's Foot, Pastern, and Legs; Horseshoer's Tools, Machine-Made Shoes, and Nails; Making Horseshoes from Bar Iron or Steel; Borium-Treated Horseshoes; Fundamentals of Shorseshoeing; Normal, Special, and Corrective Shoeing; etcetera. Many antique books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and costly, and it is with this in mind that we are proudly republishing this text here, complete with a new introduction on the care and maintenance of horses.
