In anyevent, about all that is necessary todo is to remove those loosened anddetached flakes, which, were it notfor the shoe, would have exfoliatedthemselves. Cutting away more thanthis becomes a serious cause of in-jury. The angles between the barsand crust should be moderately paredout, as accumulations here, with con-tinued pressure of the shoe, are aptto induce corns. The frog does notrequire paring more than the removalof ragged parts, and even these betternot be Fig. 435.—Anterior and External View of RightFront Foot. a, Exterior pedis ligament; b, Suspensory liga-ment. 20 SHOETNG. and spaces between the bars and frog. To show this more clearly,three sectional drawings are made from half-size casts, showing theconcavity of the foot at different points between the heel and turnof the hoof, and the necessarily great disturbance of this relation by the form of shoe usually put on. Fig. A shows the foot at the point of the heels as it rests upon the ordinary thick shoe, with calks raising the frog and sole so un-naturally high from the ground that there can be no contact of those parts with it necessary for obtaining mois- ture and preserv-ing a conditionof health.
