I covered this once before, but the recent passing of J. Scott Simpson prompted me to bring it back. In this day and age of endless argument over relatively academic aspects and vague philosophies of hoofcare, I really appreciate solid, practical solutions to the challenges of better shoeing, and few are more useful than the Eagle Eye system developed by Simpson. This is why the system and each of the five patterns have had individual listings in the Millwater lexicon since the first version in '94, with attribution to Simpson, of course.
As usual, italic boldface terms in the entry are defined in their own entries.
In other news, Amazon is running a sale on the paperback version of Millwater's Farriery. At $16.20 (eligible for free shipping if included in an order over $25), they even beating the best I can do on eBay. But that's fine with me. The eBay listings are honestly just there to point the web-bots to the Amazon and MillwaterPublishing pages. I'm better off having copies sell through Amazon.
The current Amazon deal actually makes the encyclopedic Millwater's Farriery less expensive than its predecessor, The New Dictionary of Farrier Terms and Technical Language in its final (2010) edition... Which is still available out there, so make sure you get the one you intended.
