The wall becomes too long and bonds or some-times separates from the sole and keraphyllous layer. Weakquarters bend (curl) inward and encroach upon the spaceoccupied by the frog (contracted feet of colts). The toe be-comes too long, and this gives rise to too steep a positionof the pastern and causes an insecure and diffident gait; there-fore the hoofs must be shortened from time to time. The in-curved quarters shoidd b© removed with the hoof-knife, andthe outer edge of the plantar border of the wall well rounded 157. 158 HORSESHOEING. Fig. 184. with the rasp. In the base-wide and base-narrow standingpositions the outer and inner walls respectively become relativelylong and induce the colt to assume a still more abnormal posi-tion. The young and pliant pasterns may thus become perma-nently twisted and distorted (see Eigs. 183 and 184). Ina hoof that is becoming awry, restoring to the wall its proper level with relation to theposition of the limb willnot only be invaluable inultimately producing a goodhoof, but will improve thefaulty position of the exceptional cases, wherethe plantar border of somesection of the wall givesevidence of too rapid wear,the application of a tip orof a half-shoe may be ofbenefit.
