The lower border of the wall, called the "bearing-edge" ovplantar border (Fig. 27, a), is the one to which the horseshoe is fastened. By dividing a hoof from before to behind along its median line, outer and mner halves or loalls are produced, and by dividing the entire lower circum- ference of the wall into five equal parts or sections, a toe, two side walls or marnmse, and ^^^- 2'^- two quarters vrill be exhib- ^ ' '^ ited (Fig. 27, a, 6, o). In order to designate these re- gions of the hoof still more accurately, they are spoken of as outer and inner toes, quarters, and heels. The direction (slant) and length of the wall vary in one and the same hoof, as well as between fore and hind hoofs. The toe portion of the wall of fore-hoofs is the most slanting,âthat is, forms the most acute angle with the surface of the ground,âand is also the longest. Towards the quar- ters the wall graduahy be- comes very nearly vertical;. Plantar surface of right fore-hoof: a, a, bearing- surface of the toe; a, b, bearing-surface of the side walls or mammaB ; b, c, bearing-surface of the quarters; d, buttress, or angle formed by wall and bar; e, bar; f, sole; f', branches of the sole ; g, white line; it passes between the sole and bars and ends at g'; h, homy frog; i, branches of the frog; S, heels, bulbs, or glomes of the hoof; I, median in almost all hoofs the pOS- lacuna of homy frog. Between the bars and the x â l f lt^ miartpr<; homy frog lie the lateral lacuna of the frog. terior pari 01 me quarters slants downward and in- ward towards the median vertical antero-posterior plane of the foot. At the same time the wall, in passing back from the toe to the heel, becomes gradually shorter in such a manner that the heights of the toe, side walls, and quarters are related to one another about as 3:2:1 in front hoofs, and as 4: 3: 2 i
