The upright or stumpy hoof is that form in which the quarters, with relation to the toe, are too long (too high). The wall at the toe stands very steep, in some cases perpendicular, and is strongly worn away by standing and travelling. Causes.—1. The upright hoof is peculiar to the obtuse-angled position (Fig. 46, page 60) and to the so-called bear-foot (Fig. 62, page 64). 2.

The upright or stumpy hoof is that form in which the quarters, with relation to the toe, are too long (too high). The wall at the toe stands very steep, in some cases perpendicular, and is strongly worn away by standing and travelling. Causes.—1. The upright hoof is peculiar to the obtuse-angled position (Fig. 46, page 60) and to the so-called bear-foot (Fig. 62, page 64). 2. It arises also as a result of all those alterations in the direc- tion of the Kmbs which tend to remove the quarters from con- tact with the ground (contraction of the flexor tendons, spavin). 3. It may arise gradually from neglect of the hoofs of horses running barefoot. 4. It may arise from excessive shortening of the toe in relation to the quarters. Shoeing.—The forms of hoofs mentioned in class 1 should be left as they are. The hoofs that fall under class 2 should be dressed and shod until a more FiQ-130. natural setting down of the foot is secured. This is brought about by sparing the quarters, and ap- plying a shoe with thickened branches or with heel - calks. Where the service of the animal is exacting and upon hard streets, the toes, especially of the hind "tip": a, end of tip let into the wau. shoes, may be made more dura- ble by welding in steel plates. Besides, the shoe should be moderately base-wide around the toe, —that is, should be bevelled downward and outward, should have a strong toe-dip, and should be quite concave at the toe and rolled. Should the hoof tip forward whenever the weight is thrown upon the limb, a shoe with a spur projecting from the centre of the toe, and turning back and pressing upon the wall just underneath the coronary band, will be of Upright or stumpy hoof, shod with a.
