Was looking for more of a textbook. this was not it.

This book was reccomended by a Farrier,who uses this book in her farrier training classes.Lots of black and white photos and book was in very good condition

Starting with a history of the evolution of horseshoes since ancient times the book goes on to explain how horses are shod and the right and wrong ways of doing it. The authors rely on basic scientific principles to create a simple and understandable approach that will help both lay persons and experts to a better understanding of horseshoeing.

Essential reading for farriers apprentices, but it's all a bit of a jumble to read.

My dad is undertaking a farrier course and this was his recommended reading book for his exams. He finds it very useful with detailed information on all aspects of being a farrier, as well as all the specific things regarding bones and muscles. The book makes good use of diagrams and pictures as well to help learning. Recommended for anyone undertaking a farrier course or just wanting to learn about it in general.
