A shoe should never lie removed without first cutting off the clinches, because by simply turning back fclic clinch m drawing the nail a piece of the clinch is often left m the foot, endangering the horse when the new shoe comes to be driven on. 2. The frog and bars require no cutting m a regularly attended foot. And m a healthy foot where there are no simptons of navicular disorder, tue sole should not be cut. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, and should not be sprung at the heel, as is teio conunon, thereby acting as a fparfifl loycr upon the tendons The nails should be driven level end uni form, and only on the toe side of the inside quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the create' weight of the body being suatainea there.
