If you are serious about horses and the horse business, this book will give you the details involved in shoeing horses. An in-depth book by a master farrier for those who want to learn all about horseshoeing.

As a comprehensive textbook, complete with opinionated analysis, this book rocks. If you have no interest in the subject, it is a perfect remedy for insomnia. I loved it and refer to it constantly.

The second most useful book I've read all year. Looking forward to P3!
