If the center of the base of support of theleg is not directly under the center of the weight falling onthat leg, the side of the foot nearest the point directly underthe center of weight will be compelled to do more than itsshare of the work. Therefore the leg of the horse shouldbe so set that the center of the base of support comes directlyunder the center of the weight it bears. The fore legs shouldbe so placed under the body that, when viewed from in front,a perpendicular line dropped from the point of the shoulder. Fig. 88. tront View of Fore Legs. A vertical line downward from the point of the shoulder should fallupon the center of the knee, cannon, pastern, and foot. A, Ideal position;B, toes out; C, bow legged; D, narrow chested and toes out; E, standsclose; F, knock kneed; G, pigeon toed. will divide the leg and foot into lateral halves. When viewedfrom the side, a perpendicular line dropped from the middle ofthe forearm where it joins the body should divide the legfrom body to fetlock into lateral halves and strike the groundjust back of the heel. ,>v. .-\ >s. ?^
