Description

All horses have four hooves that are integral to their overall health, their athletic ability, and ultimately, their longevity, whether their “job” is simply grazing in a pasture or competing at the highest levels. But not all horses are the same—the individual needs of each horse require an understanding of responsible, informed hoofcare on the part of the owner, rider, or trainer. This highly illustrated guide by one of the world’s leading minds in the area of farriery, Shoeing the Modern Horse: The Horse Owner’s Guide to Farriery and Hoof Care, provides an unparalleled look at advances in shoeing and general hoof maintenance, with the goal of helping owners to comprehend the “whys” of certain choices, recognize variations in shoeing options, and become better consumers of horse shoes and horseshoeing all around. Steve Kraus, Head of Farrier Services at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine and instructor at the Cornell Farrier School, is uniquely qualified to provide a varied and thorough exploration of hoof-related topics. 436 p.

As a long time horse breeder, trainer, judge and riding instructor I know the importance of hoof care. This book explains all the reasons we need proper trimming and shoeing. Your farrier will help your horse perform at their best. There are so many new and amazing horse shoes that are now available. I recommend this book for any horse person.
