(More customer reviews)This is an excellent book for the horse owner that wants to learn correct trimming and shoeing methods. The book is full of helpful pictures showing the procedures step by step. There is even a section on building and using a forge. I was also very impressed by the hints and techniques used to handle problem horses.

Readers can use this book as a guide to learn whether their horses are being shod properly or use it to learn to shoe their own horses. The book stresses good horse handling techniques and proper trimming. Correct trimming of the feet is the basis of good shoeing, and neither can be accomplished if the horseshoer cannot get the horse to stand still long enough to work on him-thus the importance of handling. To get really proficient at horseshoeing, it takes a lot of practice trimming and shoeing a lot of different horses. This book covers all the basics in plain, simple language, lavishly illustrated, and diagrammed.
