The encyclopedic dictionary of the art and science of horseshoeing and hoofcare, written by a veteran professional farrier. Well-illustrated. Features article-length entries on key topics, an appendix of supplemental full-page images, historical reference section, and a resource guide.
Composed to enable new horseowners to "cross-reference down" to get the basics they need to understand the more advanced material, and trained farriers to "cross-reference up" to move quickly to the technical information they may be looking for.
While scientific terminology is covered, the content if primarily rooted in practical, result-oriented farriery focused on the well-being and usefulness of the horse.
This volume should serve as a good primer for the prospective farrier student and horseowners who wish to become more knowledgeable about one of the most important aspects of equine care, as well as a useful supplement to the main textbooks of full-time students and established horseshoers.
