Our specialty is Avell-known to be our i ability and knowledge of the hole's foot. In a well ordered shoeing forge the following standard rules will always be observed:— j 1. A shoe should never be removed withou firat cutting off the clinches, because by simply turning back the clinch m drawing the nail a piece of the clinch is often left m the foot, endangering the horsa when the new shoe cornea to be driven on. i 2 Th« fi'Oj *^d bars require no cutting m a regu arlv *v tended foot. And m a healthy foot where there are no symptoms of navicular disorder, the sole should not^be cut. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, aud should not be sprung at the heel, as is t»o common, thereby acting as a fearful lever upon the tendons The nails should be driven level and urn form, and only on the toe'side of the inside quarter, the toot being thinner up«n the inside and' the gtreat§» w§ighj> gf the body being sustained there, There is no comparisp r points of quality between the hand made and the machine made shoe, The machine-made shoe is of a «joars«r material, mfter, and m mp«rted andit should be minted upon that they be not used m fcbe colony!
