A shoe should never be removed without first catting off the clinches, because by simply turning back the clinch in drawing the nail a piece of the. clinch is often left; in the foot, endangering the horse when the new shoe comes to be driven on. : 2 The frog and bars require no cutting in a regularly attended, foot.

The shoe should have ft level bearing upon the wall of the foot, and should- not be sprung at the heel, as is tpo 0 common, thereby acting as a fearful lever upon tM tendons ' .'., , '.) 4.
