This book contains a detailed and comprehensive guide to horseshoeing, first published in 1883. Profusely illustrated and full of timeless, practical information information, "Haney's Horse Shoers' Manual" will appeal to modern farriers and is not to be missed by collectors of vintage equestrian literature.
