The art of taming and educating the horse : with details of management in the subjection of over forty representative vicious horses, and the story of the author's personal experience : together with chapters on feeding, stabling, shoeing, and the practical treatment for sickness, lameness, etc: with a large number of recipes . Fig. 411. Showing the exact outHnes of the hoof, Fig. 410, with theform of adjustment and nailing of shoe as usually done. Theshoe and nails are too large, and the nails too many in num-ber. The shoe set too far back, and the nails driven so highand deep as to endanger driving into the quick, the realcause of harm being made apparent by reference to Figs. 421and 422. The hoof is rasped away so much as to weaken anddestroy its symmetry; a common cause, as will be seen, ofdestroying the natural adjustment of good feet, and so weak-ening the wall and sole as to produce lameness and contrac-tion. SHOEING. 623. Fig. 410, hoof the same size, cut in two, showingthe thickness of wall, sole, and frog at the center. Thecircular form towards the toe could not he fully brought outby the artist, as shown in the hoof, but is an exact re-pro-duction of the thickness and proportion of the various parts.
