marc520: "Rational Horse-Shoeing" by John E. Russell is a practical guide on equine foot care published in the late 19th century. This scientific publication focuses on the innovative methods of horse-shoeing that aim to improve the health and functionality of horses' hooves, particularly by addressing the common issues caused by traditional shoeing techniques. The author emphasizes a rational approach, advocating for natural methods that support the horse’s health. The book outlines various problems associated with conventional shoeing practices, such as contraction, corns, and foot diseases, which result from the excessive use of heavy shoes and improper fitting. Russell introduces the Goodenough shoe, a lighter design intended to provide optimal support, particularly emphasizing the importance of frog pressure—an essential aspect of a horse's hoof structure. Through detailed explanations and illustrations, the book discusses how to properly fit and apply the Goodenough shoe, encouraging regular work to facilitate healing and enhance natural foot function. The overarching message is a plea for humane treatment of horses, advocating for a system that promotes their well-being while improving their work efficiency.
