A racehorse lives or loses by its feet. William Moore's guide teaches the balancing and shoeing of trotters and pacers: preparing the foot, correcting a rough gait, curing the horse that hits its own shins. Hard-won craft from the harness track. Learn the farrier's art that keeps a fast horse sound.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
