Description

Hickman's Farriery: A Complete Illustrated Guide is a comprehensive guide to horseshoeing, first published in 1977 and revised to reflect the latest developments in the field. This updated edition brings together traditional skills with modern science to improve the welfare, soundness, and performance of horses. The book begins by tracing the history of horseshoeing back to pre-Christian times, before delving into the underlying structure of the horse's legs and the tools used in the craft. It also covers various types of horseshoes, shoemaking techniques, and the care of hooves in shod and unshod horses. With detailed illustrations and practical exercises, this guide provides a thorough understanding of farriery and its importance in maintaining the health and well-being of horses.
