This method of shoe-ing shifts the body-weight upon the slanting wall and restoresthe foot to its proper shape in from two to four shoeings. Causes.—Unequal distribution of the weight in the innerand outer halves of the foot, in conjunction vnXh. excessivecutting do%vn or wear of the steeper wall. All faults in shoeingwhich tend to produce contraction of the heels aid in the forma-tion of a ^vrJ foot, especially when these faults directly affectthe steep wall. Neglect of the colts hoofs during the firstyears of life frequently lays the basis for wry foot in lateryears. All wry feet are more susceptible to disease than others. The amount or degree of ^VTyness varies considerably. In amoderately developed case the steep wall (usually the inner)will be dra^m in at the plantar lx)rder of the quarter, presentinga convex surface between this border and the coronet,
