During winters too, when there is much snow fall, rubber pads are the only de- vices that will prevent snow-balling and permit horses to do an average day's work. There are, however, great numbers of flat- footed draft horses where their use would be entirely inadmissible on account of the pressure which they occasion on the soles. Rubber pads are also objected to by draft horse owners on account of the fact that they cause a shrinking of the frog. This, however, is a matter of little account, provided the heels do not contract, and when they do the cause should be sought in the faulty preparation of the foot, such as excessive length of toe, rather than in the use of the pad.
