So long as the hoofis healthy, both branches ofthe frog are equally devel-oped. The wryness of thehoof depends upon the di-rection of the limb; there-fore, a base-wide hoofshould be regarded as a normally wry hoof, to distinguish itfrom hoofs which are wry from disease. A hoof of the toe-wide position (Fig. 81) is distinguishedfrom the preceding by the bending or curvature of the plantarborder of the outer toe and inner quarter being often decidedlyless pronounced than on the inner toe and outer quarter; there-fore, two short cun^es and two long curves lie opposite eachother; in other words, the inner toe and outer quarter, lying.
