The art of taming and educating the horse : 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, and the practical treatment for sickness, lameness, etc: with a large number of recipes . -483. Turner. The unilateral method of nailing, withmodel of a shoe. should not extend any back into the quarters than isbarely necessary to give a safe hold of the shoe to the foot. Thefewer and smaller the nails driven, the better, providing they aresufficient to hold the shoe. But much will depend, in doing this,on the accuracy of the fitting, thickness of the wall, and weightof the shoe. If the nails are driven well back on the outer quarter, andonly round in the toe of the inner side, for the purpose of affordingmore freedom to the quarters, it will be found that as the footgrows, the shoe will be carried to the outside quarter and toe tosuch an extent that the inner heel of the shoe will be drawn insideof the wall at the heel, and rest upon the sole, causing a bruise orcorn. In addition, so much of the shoe being left unnailed, makesit liable to get loose and work under the quarter, which wouldcause a rapid wearing or l^reaking down of structure. All things SHOEiNG- 663.

Or the nailing may be extended a little farther back on the outside, and shortened a little on the inner side, in any case giving both quarters all the freedom conipatibli.^ with security, in retainino- a tirm hold of tlie slioe. As th< foot grows, the shoe will be brought forward so evenly under it as not to do harm- For ordinary light shoes, I am in the habit of using from six to seven nails, evenly distributol around the fiont part (something-like Figs. 457, 459); sometimes extending the outer na
