Magner's ABC guide to sensible horseshoeing : a simple and practical treatise on the art of shoeing horses . f the Foot and Aiding Mo-bility—From the French. Fig. View of Same. that the hoof is nearly a circle, which was the very effect that in this case I wishedto produce. I therefore ordered my sraith to make a shoe at my own forge in theform I ganerally use (which will be hereafter described), with the following excep-tions : The web of it was to almost cover the sole, room being given to admit apicker ; and as it proceeded to the heels, the web on each side was to be continuedas far as the cleft which separates the bars from the frog. He was to make the forepart the thickest, and to hammer it so thin at the heels that it would end in anedge, by which a person of ordinary strength could easily twist it. i own I apprehended that this shoe, frombeing so thin at the heels, would bend in dif-ferent places, and thereby injure the foot. Butas it was constantly u<ider my own eye, I knewthat if that circumstance should happen, the in-jury could not be material in the short time it.
