. The art of taming and educating the horse : a system that makes easy and practical the subjection of wild and vicious horses ... : the simplest, most humane and effective in the world : with details of management in the subjection of over forty representative vicious horses, and the story of the author's personal experience : together with chapters on feeding, stabling, shoeing .... Horses; Horses; Horses; CHR 1887; PRO Smith, James Somers, Jr. (donor). 706 shoe of an equal thickness all the "way round, with perhaps the inner part straightened a little. Raising the inside heel, "which is the method in general use, "while it tends to thro"w the ankle out, tends also to thro"w the foot in, as it is carried fbr"ward. It also brings such unequal straiu ujjon the ankle joint as to some- times cause serious injury to it. Fig. 552 is introduced to sho"w the bad effect of this. The inner condyle of the joint is worn do"wn or eroded over one-eighth of an inch, and, by its friction, cut in through the cartilage of the oppos- ing part so as to conform to the an- gle shown in the bones as represent- ed. There is also a large accumu- lation of bony def)osit on the outside, gro"wn by the inflammation excited, showing the extremely bad effect of forcing an unequal bearing on the joint, and throwing the foot out of line. Sometimes colts driven to a sulky, when a little leg weary may strike badly; in such a case the ankle must be protected. In all cases when the ankle is cut, the swelling and soreness increase the dif- ficulty, and should be guarded against by covering. If the irri- tation is kept up, and this is not done, it may result in perma- nent enlargement of the part, which would afterward increase the liability to be hit. This can be prevented only by coverings, or by being protected by the ordinary simple means, until the in- flammation subsides and the injury heals. I include here Prof. McLellan's directions:— &qu
