The educated horse teaching The educated horse : teaching horses and other animals to obey at word, sign, or signal, to work or ride : also, the breeding of animals, and discovery in animal physiology : and the improvement of domestic animals educatedhorsetea00offu Year: 1854 21C DISEASES OF THB HOK6B. should always stand at an elevation of 45 deg. to cause the ligements of the front and back of the leg to press equally when standing. The elevation of horses in stalls will not omit the easy manner of standing,rit is the cause of lameness. In Philadelphia I found the head much elevated, and I found more string halted horses there than in any other place du- ring my travels; this I believe to be the cause; I want my horse to stand as level as possible. Narrow and contracted heels (see fig. 1.) I believe to be the cause of more stiifness, rocking or short steps than any sweany in the shoulders, and it is the cause of more lameness than any other disease known in the United States. I would recommend those who have not bad and rocky roads not to shoe their horses. I have in long journeys of from one to two thousand miles, in several cases, had my horse to perform better if shod. This you contracted by the shoe by a slow process; to cure it, first shoe the horse with a shoe of half a pound, let the nails come as far back as will hold them, place the jaws of the blacksmith's tongs between the heels of the shoe and stretch it one-fourth to half an inch as the size of the foot may require, repeat this once in six or seven days.
