This book has been written to appeal to all relevant audiences,
i.e. in the tack-room, the forge and the surgery. It is easy to
read and understand and above all, the book is informative and
thought provoking. The gulf of understanding between owner, farrier
and veterinary surgeon is bridged, by bringing together all
interested parties to share a common pool of knowledge and
understanding of natural biomechanics, technique and systems
practiced. A different perception of Farriery has long been
overdue. Foot balance is the main quintessential aspect of farriery
and the questions of what is normal and what is undesirable have
teased farriers and veterinarians for generations. A number of
authors have set down their opinions but none have explored hoof
balance in such detail. This book looks at anterioposterior and
mediolateral hoof balance, not only defining what is normal and
ideal but explaining how, through the forces imposed by the weight
of the animal and the levers which make up the limb, the hoof can
change shape. Lameness and shoe loss are often considered a
reflection of the competence of an individual farrier. This book
will help provide the confidence and the evidence to help all
parties involved in farriery to understand how form and function
are inextricably linked. This book is essential reading for those
who are looking to expand their knowledge and for those who seek a
more philosophical approach to this ancient craft. It starts as a
journey of inquiry, reviewing the past and examining the present,
objectively introducing to the reader the wider perspective of
farriery; not just about 'shoes on horses' but as a benign
manipulative therapy, which forms an integral part of the whole
horse concept.
