Figure 19shows a similarly contracted chest andknock-knees. The inner sides of suchfee# wear off more rapidly than theoutside, and the whole conformation is weak and pigeon-toed feet, figure 20, are equally bad. They are sureto interfere, or cut the leg with the other, and no manner of shoeingcan overcome this difficulty. Figure 21 shows a pair of perfect hindlegs. A line falling from the level of the hip joints, would intersectthe hocks and heels. Figure 22 shows a pair of cow-hocked hind legs, and figure 23 a pair of hind legs, with the feet shaped sothat the greater part of the wear comes on the outside, the hocksstraddle outwardly. With the f^et straight on the ground, this is no. Fig. 17.—GOOD FOKE-LEGS. 18 THE FAMILY HORSE. ^ UXF\ 11
