Magner's ABC guide to sensible horseshoeing : a simple and practical treatise on the art of shoeing horses . Fig. Fig. 539. Forms of Spring Used for Spreading the Quarters. much as may be necessary to make the hoof sufficiently wide to re-move all pressure from the weak part. When grown down, thecause will be removed. If an ordinary case, with but little drawing in of the quarters,simply lower the inside quarter a little so as to remove pressure fromthe upper edge of the wall, and put on a level shoe. Next, with afiring-iron burn a slight crease across the upper edge of the wall,keeping the foot soft, and stimulating the growth by applicationsof hoof liniment. This will enable growing the wall down withoutits splitting back. But if the quarter is drawn in perceptibly, thenin addition to the creasing, the quarter must be given entire freedom,by cutting down between the bar and frog. The details of a very in-teresting case, and explanations of how I learned this method of treat-ment, and its success, will be found in connection with this part oftreatment in my special work on the horse.
