. A text-book of horseshoeing for horseshoers and veterinarians. Horseshoeing. 60 HORSESHOEING. Fig. 46. Fig. stand upright or " straight in the fetlooky Fig. 46 shows this position of the fetlock, though the leg above is too far back of the perpendicular line. (6) A hind leg viewed from behind is said to be regular or straight (Fig. 48) when a perpendicular line dropped from the tuberosity of the ischium (see Fig. 1, 9") divides the entire limb into inner and outer halves of equal width and touches the ground opposite the median lacuna of the frog. Seen from the side, this line just touches the point of the hock and, passing down at some dis- tance from the flexor tendons, meets the ground considerably back of the heels. A perpendicular line dropped from the hip-joint should pass through the foot, meeting the ground half-way between the point of the toe and the heel (Fig. 42). There are base-wide, base-narrow, toe- wide, and toe-narrow deviations in the hind limbs as in the fore-limbs. The hind limbs are base-wide when they, either as a whole or in part, deviate outward from the normal. The " cow-hocJced" position (Fig. 49) is an example of the base-wide; in this case the points of the hocks are too close and turn towards each other, while the feet are widely separated and the toes turned outward. Base-narrow (Fig. 50) is that position of the hind legs in which the hocks are too far apart (bandy-legged)..
