The Complete Modern Farrier" is an encyclopedic handbook on horseshoeing, with chapters on every aspect of the subject from getting the horse to stand still, to determining and treating complex diseases and ailments. Written in clear, plain language and profusely illustrated, this is a volume that will be of practical utility to modern horse owners and farriers alike, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Breeding", "Management", "Veterinary Treatment of Horses for Draught", "Driving", "Racing", 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 a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on maintaining and caring for horses.
