Balancing and Shoeing Trotting and Pacing Horses
by William J. Moore
About the author
Best known for Balancing and Shoeing Trotting and Pacing Horses, William J. Moore wrote from a practical, experience-based point of view. The book was published in 1916 and presents itself as a clear, usable manual for horsemen, especially those working with trotting and pacing horses.
What stands out about Moore's writing is its directness. Contemporary catalog and book records describe the work as a plain, practical treatise, and that matches the book's reputation as a hands-on guide to hoof balance, shoeing, and performance.
Little biographical information about Moore could be confirmed from the sources reviewed here, so it is safest to let the work speak for him. For listeners interested in equestrian history, his book offers a window into the working knowledge and racing-horse care of its time.
