"The Anatomy of the Horse's Foot and Hoof" is a collection of carefully-selected classic articles on the subject of horses, dealing specifically with their feet and related physiology. It deals with the anatomy of the horses foot, as well as common problems, proper care and maintenance, shoeing, and much more. Although old, these illustrated articles contain timeless information that will be of considerable utility to farriers and horse-owners alike, and they would make for worthy additions to collections of equestrian ligature. Many vintage books such as this are 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 on farriery.
