This text comprises a historical article on pathological horse-shoeing, with information on shoeing horses with various ailments, from 'corns' to 'flat foot'. Written in concise, simple language and profusely illustrated, this is a text that will be of much value to the novice farrier, and one that makes for a great addition to collections of equine literature. The sections of this article include: 'Shoeing for Capped Elbow', 'Rules to be Observed in Shoeing', 'Sprain of the Check Ligament', 'Contraction of the Foot', 'The Bat Shoe', 'Shoeing with Pads', 'Corns', 'Cornitis', 'Curb', 'False Quarter', 'Flat Foot', 'Forging and Clacking', 'Cutting and Brushing', 'Keraphyllocele', 'Laminitis', etcetera. We are proud to republish this vintage book, now complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on the care and management of horses.
