My dad is undertaking a farrier course and this was his recommended reading book for his exams. He finds it very useful with detailed information on all aspects of being a farrier, as well as all the specific things regarding bones and muscles. The book makes good use of diagrams and pictures as well to help learning. Recommended for anyone undertaking a farrier course or just wanting to learn about it in general.

Essential reading for farriers apprentices, but it's all a bit of a jumble to read.
