This book contains a collection of historical articles on the methods and equipment of the farrier, including a wealth of supplementary information on various other topics allied with horse management and maintenance. Complete with clear, concise instructions and profusely illustrated, these articles will be of much interest to the novice farrier, and constitute great additions to collections of allied literature. The chapters contained herein include: 'Biggle Horse Book - A Concise and Practical Treatise on the Horse'; 'Horse and Man - The Mutual Dependence and Duties'; 'The Practical Stud Groom'; and 'The Principles and Practice of Horse-Shoeing'. We are proud to republish this vintage book, now complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on the care and management of horses.
