The inner branch, on the contrary, should followthe edge of the wall as closely as possible. Furthermore, thenew shoe should be given more curve,—^that is, made wider andfitted more full where the old shoe shows greatest wear. Thepnncipal thought should he to set the shoe, which should alwayshe regarded as the hase of support of the hoof, farther towardsthe more strongly worn side. Such a practice renders super-fluous the wide-spread and popular custom of bending outward. HORSESHOEING. 127 the outer quarter and heel-calk of hind shoes. From the mannerin which a horse travels and the wear of the old shoe, we esti-mate the distance that the branches of the shoe should be setfrom the middle line of the hoof. If in following out this planthe bearing-surface of the outer quarter of the wall is not com-pletely covered, the quarter will be pinched and squeezed in-ward ; this should be prevented by a broader branch punched sodeeply that the holes will fall upon the white line (Fig. 129). When the shoer has satisfied himself that the shoe fulfilsevery requirement and fits perfectly, it is to be cooled, the holesopened wnth an oiled pritchel, and the shoe brightened wnth afile. In filing, all sharp edges should be removed. If a shoeis to be filed upon the outer border, to give it a neater appear-ance, the filing should be done lengthways of the shoe, and notcrossways; of course, the shoe must not
