This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide to horse shoeing, with chapters on common diseases, horse control and management, general maintenance, anatomy, and other useful tips. Although an old book, "The Horse Shoer's Companion" contains a wealth of timeless information and will be of considerable utility to modern horse-owners and farriers. Contents include: "Horse Shoeing", "On Making the Shoe", "Fitting the Shoe", "Setting and Mailing on the Shoe", "On Whipping and Abusing Horses while being Shod", "Ways of Holding and Managing them while Shoeing", "Remarks on the Choosing and Taking care of the Feet, Removing the Shoes, &c.", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. 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.
