    <description>
      <![CDATA[<p>We&#39;ve dedicated this section to content that will be particularly helpful for the new farrier. Gather more about the basic principles of farriery, equine anatomy, lamenesses and hoof diseases, and hoof-care tips and techniques, plus much more.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Feeling overwhelmed? Start with these information-packed articles hand-picked by our editors:</p>

<ul>
	<li><u><a href="https://www.americanfarriers.com/articles/819" target="_blank"><strong>Dealing with Thrush and White Line Disease</strong></a></u><br />
	Combining topical treatments with good hoof care will help you keep these common problems under control.</li>
	<li><a href="https://www.americanfarriers.com/articles/8259" target="_blank"><u><strong>Why Equine Bones Break and Tendons Rupture</strong></u></a><br />
	Understanding anatomy and physics can help prevent severe injuries.</li>
	<li><a href="https://www.americanfarriers.com/articles/5053" target="_blank"><u><strong>Use Sugar to Treat Those Nasty Hoof Wound Injuries</strong></u></a><br />
	The remarkable use of sugardine is now accepted more frequently by many veterinarians and farriers because of successful results and its economic significance.</li>
	<li><a href="https://www.americanfarriers.com/articles/11596" target="_blank"><u><strong>Cryotherapy&rsquo;s Role in Helping Lame Horses</strong></u></a><br />
	Researchers examine cryotherapy&rsquo;s analgesic effects with study of horses with induced lameness.</li>
	<li><u><strong><a href="https://www.americanfarriers.com/articles/6267" target="_blank">Back Up the Horse&rsquo;s Entire Foot, Not Just the Toe</a></strong></u><br />
	"Backing up the toe" might make the foot look aesthetically pleasing, but 6 weeks later all the work that was done previously needs to be done again. Focusing on just the toe leaves out the rest of the foot. Instead of thinking of backing up the toe, the focus needs to be on “backing up the whole foot.”

        <media:description type="plain">A 4-week shoeing cycle will add one or two farrier visits during the course of the year; however, it also will reduce soft tissue injuries and improve performance, Wes Meyer says. “I tell the client that it might cost them an extra $600 a year in shoeing, but it prevents veterinary bills and downtime. A veterinarian is going to cost more than $600 in an afternoon.”</media:description>
