Presented as a series of questions and answers, "Farriery" provides
solutions to a variety of common queries concerning the anatomy of the
foot and leg, as well as shoemaking in general. Although old, the
information contained within this volume is timeless and will be of
considerable utility horse-owners and apprentice farriers. Contents
include: "What Difference Would you find in the Bones of a Hind Limb,
are they named Differently?", "Are all Bones Tubular?", "Why are Horses
Shod?", "How Often should a Horse be Shod?", "Describe Fully the Os
Pedis", "What is the Periosteum and What are its Functions?", "Where do
you find the Interossious Ligament", etc. Many vintage books such as
this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in
mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern,
high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new
introduction.
