Distribution and direction of the nail-holes : regular. Length : longer than the hoof by the thickness of the shoe. 2. Shoe for an Acute-Angled Hoof—Ontev edge: strongly base- narrow around the toe, but gradually becoming perpendicular towards the ends of the branches. Punching: reg- ular, except that the nail- holes at the toe must in- cline inward somewhat more than usual. Length: rather longer than the pre- ceding shoe. 3. Shoe for an Upright (stumpy) Hoof. — Outer edge : perpendicular at the toe; but if the hoof is very steep, then base-wide at the toe,—i. e., bevelled downward and outward. Punching: last nail should be placed just beyond the middle of the shoe. Length: short; at most, one-tenth of an inch longer than the hoof In the case of a " bear-foot" (see Fig. 62) the shoe should be long. 4. Shoe for a Base-Wide Hoof.—Outer edge : the outer branch should be moderately base-narrow,—, bevelled downward and inward, the inner branch perpendicular. Punching: upon the outer branch the holes should extend well back, while upon the inner branch they are to be crowded forward towards the.
