520 _a"Balancing and Shoeing Trotting and Pacing Horses" by William J. Moore is a practical guide to horse shoeing and hoof care written in the early 20th century. This treatise offers detailed, experience-based advice aimed specifically at managing and improving the gait and performance of trotting and pacing horses, focusing on their unique needs. The likely audience for this book includes horse owners, trainers, and farriers interested in harness racing and in maximizing the performance, comfort, and soundness of their horses. The opening of Moore's treatise establishes his credentials as a lifelong professional blacksmith and horse-shoer, emphasizing his hands-on expertise with many notable horses. The book begins with an introduction and a comprehensive index outlining specific gait issues and corrective shoeing strategies. Moore then proceeds to offer straightforward, step-by-step instructions on basic hoof care for foals, followed by in-depth discussions of how to balance and prepare both front and hind feet for shoeing according to the horse's job and gait issues. Early chapters focus on correcting and preventing a range of gait faults—such as hitting the shin, knee, or elbow—through precise trimming, balancing, and shoe selection. Throughout, Moore avoids technical jargon, giving clear, practical solutions grounded in observation and years of experience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
