Well, we're now in Thanksgiving week, so the holiday season is fully upon us. So how about I get a little generous with this entry and post a sample that the equestrian set might find useful... Especially when they're getting ready for a nice Autumn ride and find ol' Dobbin has done a mischief to one of his shoes!
This sample from MILLWATER'S FARRIERY: The Illustrated Dictionary of Horseshoeing and Hoofcare is patched-together from several of the books encyclopedic entries, and gives an overview of how to fix that thrown, loose, or bent horseshoe for horseowners.
Of course, the book is designed for cross-referencing, so you don't quite get the full effect here. And the illustrations are much higher resolution in print (downgraded to keep the online file smaller).
For starters, here's the "tool kit" all horseowners should have handy for hoof maintenance between farrier calls...
And here are the sample pages on horseshoe fixing from the book. (.PDF file.)
Wishing y'all a fine feast, and hoping you've plenty to be thankful for.
