• FARRIERY: THE WHOLE HORSE CONCEPT

Description

Horse owners, farriers, and veterinary surgeons looking to expand their knowledge or seek a more philosophical approach to the ancient craft of farriery will find the common pool of knowledge shared in this resource to be informative and thought-provoking. Attempting to bridge the gulf of understanding with regards to natural biomechanics, techniques, and systems practiced, the book provides confidence and evidence to all farriers by explaining how form and function are inextricably linked. It objectively introduces the wider perspective of farriery, which is not just about "shoes on horses" but encapsulates a benign manipulative therapy, which forms an integral part of the "whole horse concept."
