Description
1742 Bracken HORSES Pocket Farrier & Farriery Improved Equestrian Veterinary 2v



Henry Bracken was an 18th-century farrier who wrote several treatises on horse care including ‘The Traveler’s Pocket-Farrier’. This book is a short but thorough treatise on how to deal with the most common incidents that happen to horses. This work was first published in 1751 over a decade after his most important book ‘Farriery Improved’. All of Bracken’s books were centered around providing advice and practical structures for horse care – particularly dealing with disease and stabilizing injuries.
