Excerpt from The Art of Horse-Shoeing This little book is written for three classes of readers: for horse-owners who may interest themselves in the subject, for farriers who are open to conviction, and for veterinary students who have to be examined. The method pursued has been, to first describe the form and action of the foot, next the preparation of the foot for shoeing. Then the form of a shoe is treated of and the details to be observed in making it. The selection of shoes for varieties of feet or for special kinds of work follows, and afterwards the fitting and nailing-on are considered. Other chapters are devoted to roughing, shoeing defective feet, accidents, the use of leathers and pads. Throughout an endeavour has been made to be as simple and clear as possible in expression, to lay down correct general principles and to point out the technical details, which are essential to good shoeing. On all these points authorities are not agreed, and I trust those who differ from me will pardon any too dogmatic expressions of opinion in these pages. The illustrations will be of assistance in making clear the text. Some of these are copied from books, some are drawn from models or preparations, and some are diagrammatic. The books I am indebted to are: "Anatomy of the Domestic Animals," by Gamgee and Law; "On the Horse's Foot," by Bracy Clark; Bouley's "Atlas of the Foot," and Goyau's "Marechalerie." Above all, I am indebted to the late Professor Joseph Gamgee, who first gave me an interest in horse-shoeing and to whose teachings and writings I trace whatever ideas I now possess.

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 Plain Treatise on Horse-Shoeing: With Illustrations It has been suggested to me, by several correspondents, that a plain, practical treatise on HorseShoeing, divested of all other matters, connected with the soundness of the horses foot, would be very acceptable to many working smiths, who have neither the time nor the inclination to wade through a work where what they want to find is mixed up with other matters, which do not bear upon their vocation. To the production of such a treatise I now set myself, in the hope that, however much I may fall short of my wishes, I may still in some degree supply a want which has long been felt by many.

NOT THE MORRIS H. MORGAN PUBLIC DOMAIN VERSION. This is a NEW (2010) easy-to-read translation by ancient Greek language scholar and horsewoman Dr. A. Nyland and is NOT one of the many century-old public domain translations NOR is it a reworded public domain version. Great advances which have been made in ancient Greek word meaning in the last twenty years were unknown to the translators of the public domains of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Despite the current trend for non-translators to reproduce public domain versions as a commercial venture, be aware that such public domain versions do not take advantage of recent scholarship in word meaning.Xenophon was an ancient Greek soldier who lived from around 430-354 BC. His "Art of Horsemanship" is his work on selecting and educating horses. It was not the first work of its kind, an earlier being that by Simon of Athens. This book also includes excerpts by Aristotle, Columella, Diogenes Laertius, Herodotos, Juvenal, Livy, Pliny the Elder, Simon of Athens, Suetonius, Theomnestus, Virgil, (and two of Xenophon's other works mentioning horsemanship,) which are relevant to Xenophon's The Art of Horsemanship. This is a NEW English translation by Dr A. Nyland.
