Hardback

Item not Available

Description

A respected equine vet and farrier have joined forces to produce this manual for trainee and working farriers.

The coverage starts with a brief history of farriery, then looks at the legalities of the job and how to control equines for trimming and shoeing.

The authors describe the care and maintenance of the forge and farriery tools, as well as the anatomy and function of the horse, especially the lower limbs, the principles of foot balance, and the practice of shoeing.

Shoe making, surgical shoes, lameness and shoeing are dealt with in detail, and the book is embellished with hundreds of specially taken photos, and explanatory line drawings.
