Martin Humphrey, a veterinary surgeon and farrier, has written a comprehensive guide to farriery that takes the reader from the absolute basics to advanced level, corrective, and therapeutic shoeing.

The book is abundantly illustrated with many of the author’s own photographs and superb drawings. There are thoughts on shoeing from top horse people Stephen Hadley, Robert Lemieux, Martin Pipe, Robert Oliver and Sallie Walrond.
