Shoeing the Modern Horse - The Horse Owners Guide to Farriery and Hoof Care by Steven Kraus with Katie Navarra

Wirebound hardcover, 220 pages

The must-have reference for effective and responsible shoeing for the good of the horse.

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 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, including:

-Equine conformation—how to assess it in relation to soundness and performance, and how farriers use it to guide shoeing choices.
-To shoe or not to shoe? Using sense and science to analyze which horses are better served with shoes and which may be comfortable and healthy barefoot.
-Types of horseshoes and traction devices, modification devices, adhesives, materials, and more.
Shoe loss—why it happens and how to prevent it.
-Farrier training—where and how it happens, how to find a good one and what you should expect.
-Horse handling for shoeing—how to prepare your horse and yourself.
-The future of farriery with 3D printing.

With plenty of adventures from the road and lessons learned during his years of shoeing horses professionally, Kraus provides a guide that is not only massive in value, it's entertaining, to boot. An excellent resource for all serious horse people who wish to keep their horses comfortable and performing their very best while making informed decisions and having intelligent conversations with hoofcare professionals.
