Balancing and Shoeing Trotting and Pacing Horses
by William J. Moore
About the author
William J. Moore is best known for Balancing and Shoeing Trotting and Pacing Horses, a book published in 1916. The work presents itself as a plainspoken, experience-based manual for horsemen, focusing on hoof care, balance, and shoeing methods for performance horses.
Reliable catalog and public-domain records confirm that this book has remained the clearest trace of Moore's authorship. Project Gutenberg, Open Library, and the Internet Archive all list the title, which suggests that his lasting reputation comes from practical equine instruction rather than from a large, widely documented literary career.
Very little biographical information about Moore himself was readily confirmed from reliable web sources during this search, so it is safest to remember him as a specialist writer whose surviving work reflects the hands-on world of early harness racing and horse management.
