If you're on the lookout for reliable trimming and shoeing techniques, you'll have a hard time finding any footcare practices that have stood the test of time better than those featured in The Cavalry Horseshoer's Technical Manual.
Ken Mankel, a former U.S. Army Horseshoer and current International Horseshoeing Hall of Fame member, said it best in his foreword to this respected classic...
"When I went to the U.S. Army Horseshoeing School, the instructor, Sergeant First Class R.T. Forney, told the three prospective shoers in the class that this book would be our "bible". He said the pages of this manual would be the most important key in turning me and the other raw recruits into professional shoers.
"He certainly was right, and my copy of this technical manual had plenty of dog-eared pages during my schooling, doing U.S. Army shoeing and also shoeing horses and mules on my own in Michigan for the past 45 years.
"Thanks to the basic shoeing knowledge I got from this book, I've enjoyed a memorable career in the farrier business. This book had a BIG impact on my shoeing career."
Written In Down-To-Earth Language
Veteran Army farriers say this 128-page War Department technical manual (TM-220) offers the best instructions on shoeing techniques to be found anywhere and is among the very best shoeing books ever written. Jammed with hundreds of practical shoeing ideas you can put to good use, it gives you a basic understanding of what you need to know about all aspects of footcare, explained with highly detailed diagrams and photos so you can quickly translate the concepts directly into your daily work.
Refreshingly Simple And Straightforward
