The Art of Shoeing Horses: Balancing and Shoeing Trotting and Pacing Horses

This is an unvarnished and practical treatise on the art of balancing and shoeing trotting and pacing horses, unclouded by little known technical and scientific words and phrases, but written by the author Wm. J. Moore in his own every day words that can be easily understood by any horseman.

Mr. Moore, who has spent his life in the business of horse shoeing. He had charge of the Horse Shoeing Department of the Allen Farm at Pittsfield, Massachusetts for a period of over twenty years, and he is still so engaged at Allen Farm.

Mr. Moore's experience as a horse shoer dates from the time when he commenced work in a horse shoeing shop as an apprentice, at the age of 16 years. Since which time horse shoeing has been his sole occupation. During this period of 35 years Mr. Moore has shod many noted trotting and pacing horses, and his long, varied and successful experience justifies the belief that no one is better qualified to write on this subject, and to offer advice in regard to it, than is he, and it is also the belief of those best qualified to judge, that no work of this sort, heretofore written, is more entitled to the confidence of, and acceptance by, the people who own trotting and pacing horses, for whatever purpose they may be used.
