Sunday on the Farm | Bruce B. Daniels, CJF | Hardcover

Sunday on the Farm is a collection of stories drawn from Bruce B. Daniels' more than four decades of shoeing horses. Told from the perspective of a working farrier, the book looks back on the horses, horsemen, racetracks, blacksmith shops, and unexpected situations that shaped his life in the trade.

Daniels mixes humor, personal recollections, and farrier history as he remembers the people and experiences he encountered throughout his career. The result is a firsthand look at an era of horseshoeing told by someone who lived it.

Bruce B. Daniels, CJF was a New Jersey farrier, educator, clinician, judge, and mentor whose career made a lasting impact on the American farrier community. He operated the South Jersey School of Horseshoeing near Mullica Hill, New Jersey, while also maintaining a busy professional shoeing practice.

Daniels served the American Farrier's Association in numerous leadership roles, including president, secretary, regional director, and board member. He was also a multiple-time member of the American Farriers Team and was inducted into the International Horseshoeing Hall of Fame in 1992 as part of its first class of inductees.

His career took him from ranch and rodeo work to racetracks across the country, giving him decades of stories about the horses and people of the trade. Those experiences became the foundation for his books about life as a horseshoer.
