In large towns there are always veterinary surgeons’ forges

As to Shoeing. In large towns there are always veterinary surgeons’ forges, where the art is well understood, and so, too, in hunting districts; but where you have to rely on ignorant blacksmiths you cannot do better than rely on the rather exaggerated instructions contained in Miles on the Horse’s Foot, issued at a low price by the Royal Agricultural Society. Good shoeing prolongs the use of a horse for years.
