. Special report on diseases of the horse . Horses. Fig. 4.âPair of fore feet of base-narrow form in toe-narrow standing Fig. B.âa, side view of an acute-angled fore foot (shod); b, side view of a regular fore foot, showing the most desirable degree of obliquity (45°); c, side view of a stumpy, or "upright," fore foot; obliquity above 60°. In a, b, c, note particularly the relation between the length of the shoe and the overhanging of the heels. Note also the toe roll of the shoes. close to the supporting leg, thence forward and outward to the ground, which the hoof meets first with the outer toe. Horses that are toe-wide (" splay-footed "â âtoes turned outward) show all these peculiarities of hoof-form and hoof-flight to a still more marked degree and are therefore more prone to " interfere " when in motion. A hoof of the hasc-iiarrow position is awry, but not to so marked a degree as the Tlie inner is^U is usually a little more.
