A shoe l":ou1c1 never be removed without first cutti..^' off the clinches, because by simply cr.l.iiiig back the clinch in drawing the nail - piece of the clinch is often left in the feat, endangering the horse when the new shoe comes to be driven on. 2.

The shoe should have a level bearing upon . the wall oi the foot, and should not be I sprung r.fc tlie heel, as is too common, thereby act:ag as a fearf-ul lever upon the tendons The nails.should be driven level and uni form, and o.ly on the toe side of the inside quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and tie greate* weight of the body being sustained there.
