This is a comprehensive handbook for farriers, with a special focus on shoeing "trotting" and "pacing" horses. A timeless guide full of step-by-step instructions and handy tips, this volume will be of utility to modern equestrians and those with a practical interest in farriery. Contents include: "Foals", "Preparing the Foot", "A Trotter Inclined to Single-foot Pace", "Causes of Rough Colt", "Shin-hitting in Front", "To Prevent Winging-in", "Shin-Hitting Behind", "Knee and Arm Hitting", "Shoeing a Knee-knocker", "A Bad Hitter", "A Hitting Pacer", "Elbow Hitting", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on maintaining and caring for horses. This book was first published in 1916.
Ulysses Grant, the highest-ranking general of the American Civil War and 18th president of the United States, was a surprisingly reluctant soldier and an even more reluctant president. But he was always an enthusiastic horseman. Rich with anecdote, humour and humanity, From Cincinnati to the Colorado Ranger tells of the extraordinary collection of horses that inhabited Grant's world. From the placid plough horses of his youth to the brave war chargers that "carried the destiny of the nation on their backs." From the pampered trotters of the Gilded Age to the exotic stallions whose blood enriched a new breed of American horse. The story of these horses more than illuminates the life and culture of a great American.
