The sole or frog should neverbe pared ; the wall alone should becut down, if it is too long. Whena horse cuts himself with the op-posite foot, the inner branch ofthe shoe ought to be shorter andthinner than the outer. Rasping the foot destroys thestrength of the hoof, and consequently causes its horn to become dry, and thehorny laminae beneath to grow weak ; from this often arises an internal inflam-mation, which renders the foot painful, and makes the horse go lame. * * * ing the Fig. 595. —The Shoe as it may be Fitted toSupport Weak Heels. 78 CAUSES OF INJURY.
