Excerpt from Practical Horseshoeing This animal, preeminently the most useful to man, is the one upon Which is inflicted, either wantonly, or through sheer ignorance, or thoughtlessness, the greatest amount of cruelty. The records of all humane societies Show that, of prosecutions for cruelty to animals, an overwhelming majority refer to the Horse; and of these, a large proportion are for working-horses While suffering from lameness, in one form or other. So frequent are such cases, that observers have concluded that its preva lonce must result from some specific cause, and, not un naturally, attention has thus been directed to the various modes of management practised in relation to the horse's foot, to the manner of shoeing, and, in particular, to the Way in Which the hoof is prepared for the shoe.

Excerpt from A d104-Book of Horseshoeing: For Horseshoers and Veterinarians The inauguration of the law requiring horseshoers to be examined emphasizes the need of a brief and easily understood text-book on theoretical and practical horseshoeing. At the request of the Royal Veterinary Commission in charge of the Royal Veterinary School in Dresden, and many interested individuals, I have attempted to meet this need by condensing within the narrowest possible limits all that is essential to the horseshoer in the practice of his profession. The subject-matter has been cast into a logically arranged course of instruction; all that is superfluous and is found only in exhaustive treatises on shoeing has been omitted. In order to make this elementary text-book more easy to understand, numerous instructive illustrations have been incorporated, which were taken partly from "Der Fuss des Pferdes," by Leisering & Hartmann, fifth edition, Dresden, 1882; partly from the journal Der Hufschmied, and partly from drawings made specially for this work. With the desire that this little book may find many friends and supply them with valuable information, it is herewith given to the public.

This early works was originally published in 1898, it is a comprehensive and informative look at the subject of Horseshoeing with much of the information still useful and practical today. The word "horseshoeing" embraces various acts, especially preparing the iron sole, the horseshoe; forming it and fitting it to the hoof, whose ground surface has been previously dressed in accordance with the direction of the limb, and fastening it to the hoof by means of nails........Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
