The New Dictionary of Farrier Terms and Technical Language

      The New Dictionary of Farrier Terms and Technical Language is the authoritative lexicon of the art and science of farriery, and the only book of its kind in the Library of Congress. It includes words from basic horsemanship and scientific language alike, making it useful for everyone from the professional farrier trying to understand the latest symposium lecturer's notes through the average horse owner who wants to converse more effectively with his or her horse's hoofcare provider.

      Originally published as the Pocket Dictionary in early 1994, the Dictionary was updated and expanded with new entries as well as selected phonetic guides, etymologies, and in-text illustrations, to become the New Dictionary in late 1995. This version went through four conventional printings.

       The 2004 10th Anniversary Special Edition had eighty new entries, updates and revisions of earlier entries, a new resources index, and all the old black and white illustrations were replaced with higher resolution grayscale images and photographs.

       The 2008 Edition includes all the improvements from the 2004 version, plus over 30 pages of new material and updates to earlier entries.

       The New Edition for 2010 (2.7.2) features even more illustrations and encyclopedic entries, and is available in coil-bound (which is a little cheaper and will lay flat on your desk while open to any page) and new perfect-bound (nice trade paperback).
