Hickman's Farriery was first published in 1977 and has since been completely revised and updated to bring it into line with the latest developments in this field. The book begins with a short history of horseshoeing, tracing its origins to pre-Christian times. The new edition demonstrates how traditional skills can be combined with modern science to benefit the welfare, soundness and performance of the horse.
The tools used on the foot and at the anvil are described in detail, as are the various types of horseshoe that can be applied. The authors then move on to explain the underlying structure of the horse's front and hind legs so that farriers can better understand the scientific principles of their craft. The chapter on shoemaking includes numerous practical exercises, each one illustrated with specially taken step-by-step photographic principles of their craft.
