The Farrier's Mindset

The Farrier’s Mindset: How to Understand, Apply and Explain Farriery Knowledge Farriery is more than knowing what to do beneath a horse’s foot. It is about understanding why you are doing it, applying knowledge to the individual horse and being able to explain your decisions clearly. The Farrier’s Mindset is a comprehensive audio learning and revision resource designed to help listeners develop a deeper understanding of farriery and equine locomotion. Drawing on practical experience, scientific knowledge and years of professional education, Marc Jerram explores the principles that underpin effective hoof care and encourages listeners to think critically rather than simply follow established routines. The audiobook examines how anatomy, biomechanics, pathology, movement, hoof balance, shoeing techniques and diagnostic information can be brought together when assessing and managing the individual horse. It also considers the importance of observation, clinical reasoning, communication and working collaboratively with veterinary surgeons, veterinary physiotherapists, owners and other equine professionals. The Farrier’s Mindset is particularly suited to farriers undertaking continuing professional development, those preparing for further qualifications, and equine professionals wishing to strengthen their understanding of the farrier’s role. It is also intended to support horse owners who want to develop a more informed understanding of hoof care and the decisions made about their horse. This audiobook provides an opportunity to learn and revise wherever you are, whether travelling, working or simply taking time to develop your knowledge.
