"""The Gentleman's Pocket-Farrier"" is a concise and accessible handbook for horse owners, with chapters on everything from preparing for a journey to general care and management, treating ailments, and more. This vintage book will appeal to those with an interest in equestrianism, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature.
