| Summary |
"A Text-Book of Horseshoeing, for Horseshoers and Veterinarians" by A. Lungwitz is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work serves as an instructional guide aimed at both professional horseshoers and veterinarians, focusing on the theoretical and practical aspects of horseshoeing. It emphasizes the anatomy and physiology of the horse's leg and foot, delving into the complexities involved in effective horseshoeing practices. At the start of the text, the author outlines the rationale behind creating this comprehensive guide in response to a new law requiring horseshoers to be tested for their competencies. The opening chapters introduce the anatomy of the horse, detailing skeletal structures and various physiological aspects that are essential for successful horseshoeing. It discusses the significance of understanding both the anatomical and pathological concerns of the hoof, establishing a foundation for later instructions on the actual practice of shoeing horses. The author's expertise, as indicated through his qualifications and background in veterinary education, ensures that the content will be both informative and applicable for those involved in the care of horses.
