The horse's friend [microform] : the only practical method of educating the horse and eradicating vicious habits, followed by a variety of valuable recipes, instructions in farriery, horse-shoking, the latest rules of trotting, and the record of fast horses up to 1876.

A shoe should never be fitted tightly, unless the coffin-bone has too much play ; then it should be fitted tight around the toe and each quarter, as far as the nail-holes extend back, in order to contract the foot, and bring the coffin-bone to its proper place. Such cases are, however, very rare. The heels of the shoe should never be allowed to curve inward toward the froof, and the foot should be prepared so as to prevent any pres- sure from the shoe on the heel, in the manner shown by Plate No. 14, at the same time allowing the bearing of the shoe to be perfectly equal. If the horse has a long foot it should he shortened on the toe as much as possible—the more the better—for the hoof grows out more quickly at the toe ; and it is necessary, because in a case of this kind the coffin-bone is necessa- rily out of its proper position, and the operation of shortening the toe must be continued until it.
