The wall at the toe stands muchsteeper than tlie long pastern and is more or less convex; inother words, a low-jointed, sloping pastern is attached to anupright hoof. Such a foot is sometimes improperly called a club-foot. C. Lines o£ Flight of Hoofs in Motion. If we observe horses moving unrestrained over level gTound,we will notice differences in the carriage of the feet. Viewedfrom in front, or from behind, in the regular standing posi-tion of the limbs the hoofs are carried forward in a straiglitdirection,—^that is, in a line parallel with the median line ofthe body (Fig. 71).
