Hippodonomia, or the True Structure, Laws, and Economy, of the Horse's Foot

Bracy Clark

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. About seven years ago, whilst pursuing some experiments on the contracted feet of horses, it occurred to me that the causes usually advanced to explain this serious imperfection were not real and that, in fact, the accidents, carelessness, idle habits, and wanton tricks Of the smith, so much inveighed against, had very little concern in its production.. The efficient cause began to appear to me to lie much deeper, and to consist in the Very method itself by which the shoe was affixed to the foot.
