DBE’s newest release, The Principles of Horseshoeing (P3), is one of the sharpest tools in the hands of aspiring and experienced farriers and an important reference for horse owners. If you are a farrier, this 1000 page reference book can help you be at the top of your profession. If you are a horseowner, The Principles of Horseshoeing (P3) will help you learn about your horse and show you how to choose and work with the right farrier.

It is interesting to note that when the first Principles of Horseshoeing was published 30 years ago, the price of the book was the same as a pair of top quality nippers. A farrier could shoe two horses and pay for the book. The second edition was released in 1985, and the price of a pair of nippers was still relative in cost to the book’s price. Today’s price still compares to the cost of a top quality pair of nippers – one of the most important tools in a farrier’s toolbox. Receiving money to shoe 2-3 horses still covers the cost of The Principles of Horseshoeing (P3)! A pair of nippers will wear out in a few years, but this book will last a lifetime!
