SHOEING MULES, ASSES, AND OXEN. 1. The shoeing of mules and asses is, as in the ease ofhorses, a necessity if these animals are to be used for draftor saddle purposes on hard streets. The structure and char-acteristics of the hoofs of these animals are quite similar tothose of the horse, diifering chiefly in the form and thicknessof the wall. The mule hoof is long and narrow and round atthe toe, the sole is well arched, and theside walls are rather steep (Fig. 225).In the ass the narro^vness of hoof is stillmore pronounced, the wall is relativelythick, the frog is particularly well devel-oped in its branches, and therefore thehoof is relatively wide in the region ofthe quarters. The horn of both mule andass is tough. The shoes differ from those of thehorse in no other respect than that theyshould be lighter and narrower. Fournail-holes are sufficient for an ass shoo,and five to six for a mules. On a
